At the heart of FEED's distinctive approach is curator and artist Brad Ford. Known for his own innovative work in "Digital Dada"—a genre that blends the rebellious spirit of classic Dada with the limitless possibilities of digital technology and physical manipulation of screens—Ford brings a unique perspective to exhibition development. His practice often involves manipulating visual information and digital media to create what he calls "digital sculpture," an aesthetic that naturally lends itself to data-driven conceptualization.

The Open FEED Process: A Nexus of Art and Science

The residency's most compelling aspect is the process by which Ford and the center encourage artists to integrate scientific and technical data into their creative work. While the residency is intentionally open to diverse themes, the center's focus on innovative technology and its role as an "idea incubator" drives a particular engagement with complex information.

This method allows the exhibits to offer a deeper, more visceral engagement with information that might otherwise remain confined to scientific journals or databases. By translating objective data into subjective experience, the Open FEED residency successfully challenges viewers to contemplate complex issues—be it environmental, technological, or social—through the lens of artistic beauty and disruption.

In an art world increasingly defined by its engagement with technology, Brad Ford and the Open FEED residency at FEED.Art are not just showcasing digital art; they are demonstrating a powerful new methodology for contemporary exhibition—one where the artist acts as a translator, turning the quiet hum of data into a resonant, public dialogue.
