Michael Joaquin Grey began in the center of the art world in 1990 and rapidly pioneered a new type of creative practice, which is a prototype of today's new media artist. Over the last decade his work has extended from the gallery into social sculpture, biotechnology, information technology, product design, education, and mass media.
Grey's artistic exploration led to the invention of Zoob, a modeling system and toy that emulates dynamic and living systems. Most recently he has been exploring computational cinema and choreography with sound, motion and video primitives. His collaborations and practice have been a model and precursor to how artists would adapt their practice. Grey is interested in the decay of the primary narrative. He is suspicious of the limits imposed by linguistic syntax to describe the complexity of spatial behavior. He has focused on the pedagogical problem of how to best experience, understand and explain complex spatial and natural systems. "It is too easy to apply old models and language for the sake of explanation and exploitation of information. I like to remind myself of the aspect of play and storytelling which is so essential to our faith in western culture and our process of creation - something our high culture often represses. I try to recapitulate the process as a first principles experiment (bottom up) so not to easily forget the problems and paradox of development and discovery."
