Brent Richardson is a Houston based artist working in a variety of mediums to create interactive electronic sculptures and installations. After attending the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor he earned a Masters of Fine Art degree from the University of Oklahoma in Art, Technology and Culture.
In addition to gallery art exhibitions Brent has pursued outlets empowering people to make meaningful change in their community through artistic interventions. This work has taken many forms from building interactive museum experiences to developing Fab Lab Houston, a place for people to make almost anything using digital fabrication equipment.
In the past year Brent has had the opportunity to present his work at MIT’s FAB15 Conference in Egypt, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, SXSWedu in Austin and SOLIDWORKS World 2019 in Dallas.
His artist research focuses on the impact socially constructed systems have on our lives, and how those systems affect the perceived world. Recognizing that humanity is a key factor in history, Brent strives to illustrate the struggle faced when solving one problem, with invention and innovation, only creates new one.
