Lorin Roser Explained

Lorin Roser is a Chinese American New York–based multifaceted animator, painter, musician and multimedia artist. As an architect and artist his animation work uses "random manipulations to explore a world of hitherto unseen shapes and structural possibilities.[1] " Roser is partners with Nina Kuo.

Early life

Lorin Roser was born on the East Coast of the United States. He studied architecture with Kenneth Frampton, Emilio Ambasz, Yoshio Taniguchi, and Craig Hodgetts at Princeton University and earned an MA at UCLA.[2]

Career

Roser moved to New York in the 1980s where he met artist Nina Kuo and began many artistic collaborations with her. Participating in the New York City downtown art scene, he has been a sought-after musician and performer since the 1980s, performing at CBGB's, Franklin Furnace, the Emily Harvey Foundation, the WhiteBox art center with Elliott Sharp, events for curator/performance artist Arleen Schloss and composed music for Verneta Nemec's performance art works.[3] He has also written music for Larry Litt and Hector Canonge.[4] He participated in the "Digital Art Symposium" at Lightbox, NYC in 2019.

Besides animations and music, he also designs book covers, most recently for Digital Media: Transformations in Human Communication by Paul Messaris and Lee Humphries.

As he continues making art, Roser is moving into 3D animations, melding music and form with the digital world. He states, "Visualization is a great tool for architecture because building bricks and mortar is so expensive and computer animation mimics the unfolding of space as you walk through a building. Now I am obsessed with using math to create music and form. The computer excels at this type of exploration."[1]

Roser's work is in the collection of major international museums, galleries, and archives including Franklin Furnace Archives,[5] Museum of Modern Art, Otis Art Institute, and the Chicago Art Institute Library.
