Paul Slocum is a curator, software developer, artist, musician, and director of the new media art gallery, And/Or Gallery in Pasadena, California. Lucas and Slocum have known and worked with each other for the better part of their careers; And/Or Gallery has represented Lucas since 2008.
Together for Tuesday Evenings at the Modern, they present their individual endeavors and discuss their shared relationship with new media and each other over decades of blazing new trails in the fields of new media and digital art.
