Educator Human Being

About

I am an artist, developer, and educator from NYC and Woodstock, NY. I'm based in New Haven, Connecticut, and I often visit NYC via train. I've worked as a software engineer, freelance web developer. I've also taught creative and technical classes and workshops, and run community spaces, both online and off. My art practice involves synthesizers, video feedback, and generative patterns inspired by nature and math. I've been performing audiovisual art since 2016, and have played live music and visuals at events and art spaces across North America.

I also enjoy bicycling, yoga, meditation, and spending time in the forest. I've lived in a yurt, a converted school bus, a camper van, and out of a backpack.

Paloma Kop is an experimental multimedia artist and creative technologist based in New Haven, CT. Their practice incorporates electronic media, from analog video and synthesizers to digital systems and code, as well as drawing, print, and liquids. They are especially interested in feedback loops, recursion, self-organizing and emergent structures, and patterns in nature.

They received an MFA in Electronic Integrated Arts at Alfred University in 2020, and a BS in Visual Arts and Computer Science from Purchase College in 2014. They have shown work and performed at spaces and events such as Ambient Church (NYC), Eastern Bloc (Montréal), and Ann Arbor Film Festival (Michigan). They have done visiting artist talks and workshops at universities such as CalArts, NYU, and SAIC.

Available for Work

I'm currently in search of a new role in web development (frontend-leaning full stack, or something similar that straddles the creative and the technical). Feel free to check out some of my projects and get in touch!
