Joshue Ott

Scores

October 2-30, 2025

About the Exhibition

 

Scores is the first solo exhibition of audiovisual artist and software creator Joshue Ott. The exhibition features a series of animated lenticular motion prints: scores made from live improvisations performed with superDraw, the artist’s custom-built audiovisual software instrument.

To create the scores, Ott deconstructs the recording of a live performance into thousands of images, then recombines them in the form of a lenticular print that encodes motion and sound into one physical object. As the viewer moves in relation to the piece, the lenticular lens bends light to reveal subtle shifts: the artwork flickers, morphs, and flows, an impression of the original improvisation. 

The exhibition is part of Joshue Ott’s artist residency at Delight Factory, which includes four live performances. After each performance, one new motion print will be generated and exhibited at the following date, alongside a selection of earlier scores. The audience is invited to witness the creation of a new score, each with a theme drawn from Ott's work. The closing night reception will feature a display of all scores, and a presentation on how the works are generated.

About the Artist

 

JOSHUE OTT is an award-winning visualist and experiential designer whose distinct visual work, cinematic improvisations and composed evolving images have been performed live and projected in large-scale at Mutek, Carnegie Hall, Ars Electronica, Baryshnikov Art Center, Visiones Sonoras (Mexico) and Gyeonggi Media Performance Festival (South Korea). Supple yet digital, ephemeral but instantly memorable, Ott renders sound into vision, yielding an immersive multi-sensory experience that is at once immediate and synergistic: a unique visual narrative born in the moment. Ott has been a resident artist with Eyebeam (NYC) and Times Square Arts, and is a recipient of the 2022 NYFA Fellowship for Architecture and Environmental Design. Ott creates hand-drawn forms manipulated in real-time using superDraw, a software instrument of his own design. Ott is also the creator of several popular iPhone apps: Thicket, 3Draw, snowDrift, Pitch Painter with Morton Subotnick, and the Variant series. He currently runs Interval Studios, a small software development company specializing in time-based interactive experiences.
