Exploratorium Artist-in-Residence 2017–2019
Based in Los Angeles, Tristan Duke has a background in photography and holography and a deep interest in the science of optics and visual perception—which informs his new work at the Exploratorium, Aperture Lucida.
His work connects to numerous research threads throughout the Exploratorium, and we are currently exploring potential areas of overlapping interest with the hope of supporting him in new areas of investigation.
In addition to his time as Artist-in-Residence at the Exploratorium, Duke's individual work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Art Villa Garikula, Georgia; The Velaslavasay Panorama, Los Angeles; MASS MoCA, North Adams; and Holocenter, Long Island City, NY.
