About Tom White

Tom White (dribnet) is a New Zealand based visual artist focused on work combining AI and drawing systems for over 25 years. He studied computer graphics and visual design at the MIT Aesthetics and Computation group with professor John Maeda where his 1998 MS Thesis investigated the potential for multi-touch interfaces to provide better computer interfaces. His early work on drawing frameworks led to influential software that is still popular today - such as Processing, openFrameworks, and p5.js. His computational art has been exhibited at museums internationally including Cooper Union, MoMA, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, SIGGRAPH, Ars Electronica, and the NeurIPS Art Gallery. He is also currently a lecturer teaching computational design and creative AI at the Victoria University of Wellington School of Design.
