They met at a series of creative computing workshops, and began to work together remotely. Starrett is an assistant professor of visual and digital art at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Reiser is a professor in the computer science and new media departments at UNC Ashville. Their first full-fledged project, called \u201cClever on Sunday,\u201d was up in 2016 at the Dorskey museum in New Paltz. This project involved data visualization in the form of doily patterns that could be scanned like QR codes in order to provide the viewer with a link to data about women in STEM, gender roles, technology, and consumerism. Starrett and Reiser have been involved on Vassar\u2019s campus before, with their project \u201cLayered Chiffon,\u201d which can be seen outlined in this <a href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/2017\/04\/03\/this-busy-week-in-caad-and-beyond\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">past blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Starrett&#8217;s\u00a0most recent project,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.courtneystarrett.com\/other-works-in-progress\/\">&#8220;Debt Tea,&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0will be displayed at the Museum of the City of New York, in\u00a0late June 2017.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3243\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_3234\" data-imgid=\"3243\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/06\/TebtTea_2017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3243\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3243\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/06\/TebtTea_2017-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/06\/TebtTea_2017-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/06\/TebtTea_2017-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/06\/TebtTea_2017-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2017\/06\/TebtTea_2017-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Starrett&#8217;s teapot, which represents her debt payments through the degree of curvature<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In their work together, they hope to create things that can\u2019t be made any other way than with their different but intertwined disciplines. Many projects that involve an art person working together with a computer science person may have their separate tasks to be completed by one member of the partnership, but Reiser and Starrett work together on all aspects of their projects. For them, the most exciting and creative ideas happen in multi-disciplinary work. It gets people out of their comfort zone and into new domains where they have to learn through collaborations, and learn the similarities and differences in ways people process creative thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtney Starrett and Susan Reiser are CAAD\u2019s two artists in residence for the summer 2017 season.
