Presented by the Art Department.

Nick Crockett is the the first speaker in the UCSB Department of Art Spring 2021 Visiting Artist Colloquium. Crockett is an animator and game developer from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. His lovingly crafted virtual worlds use tropes from fantasy and science fiction to reinterpret and reimagine America’s national myths about whiteness, pioneers, progress, and the relationship between society and nature.

He has an MFA from the Carnegie Mellon School of Art and has been a long time member of the UCLA Game Lab. He has exhibited games and animation at venues including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh; Northern Spark Festival, Minneapolis; Now Play This Festival, Somerset House, London; and the UCLA Game Art Festival at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.  https://ncrockett.com
