George Legrady is a multi-disciplinary artist with projects realized in photographic-based media, interactive digital media installations, and computationally generated visualizations. He is considered a pioneer in the field of digital computational arts for his contribution to the digital media field in intersecting cultural content with data processing as a means of creating new forms of aesthetic representations and socio-cultural narrative experiences. Throughout his artistic career, Legrady has pursued a highly visible experimental and research-oriented artistic practice that integrates digital computer technologies with photography, conceptual art, and art theory. Born in Budapest, Hungary, he was raised in Montreal, Canada and has resided in California since 1981 where he received a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1976. He is professor and chair of the Media Arts & Technology graduate program, and also directs the Experimental Visualization Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
