Speaker
Dan Goods is the "Visual Strategist" at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His installations for JPL include "The Hidden Light", about finding planets around other stars, and "The Big Playground", in which a hole drilled into a grain of sand shows the scale of the universe. His work has been featured on the cover of the art and science journal Leonardo, and written about in Forbes and the LA Times. He recently curated the exhibition "Data + Art: Art and Science in the Age of Information" at the Pasadena Museum of California Art with his colleague David Delgado. Currently, Goods is part of a team commissioned to create a data driven sculpture as the centerpiece artwork for a new extension at the San Jose airport.
