Lake Heckaman
New Media Artist
Lake Heckaman is a Brooklyn-based new media artist exploring how technology alters human perception and interpersonal connection, often through spaces he transforms into interactive environments where viewers shift from passive observers to active participants.
Inspired by the familiar yet abstract beauty of the natural world, his works incorporate cutting-edge computer graphics and machine learning technology to illustrate the reciprocal forces that humans, technology and the environment exert on each other.
Lake's work has been exhibited internationally, including during Art Basel Miami and at galleries in New York, Paris, and Singapore, among others. He has created permanent, public installations such as a weather-reactive facade at Hotel Diez in Medellin, Colombia and an interactive experience at the National Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
