George Legrady was born in Budapest, raised in Montreal, Canada and currently lives in Santa Barbara, and Paris, France.
He is an internationally exhibited digital media artist, academic and scholar whose artistic projects, pedagogy, and publications have addressed how computation and imaging technologies inadvertently impose added meanings onto the data they process. Projects are realized as interactive museum installations, computer-generated visualizations, data collection and analysis, and also as works on paper and tapestries. His research and practice center on examining how digital media reshapes our perception, understanding, representation, and interaction with the world through the mathematical modeling of pixel-based images.
George Legrady is Distinguished Professor of Digital Media in the Media Arts & Technology graduate program at the University of California, Santa Barbara where he directs the Experimental Visualization Lab.
