Visual art, information technology, and daily life converge in Jason Salavon’s work. He uses software processes of his own design to transform masses of source images – real-estate listing photographs and high-school yearbook portraits for example – into generalized images that take form as photographs, video installations, or continuous, real-time feeds on the Internet.

One such work, Rainbow Aggregator (2012), is on view in the Student Union as a result of a 2014 collaboration between the OSU Museum of Art, the Student Union, and OSU alumni Carl and Marilynn Thoma. Salavon's work can also be found in major museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Los Angeles County Museum.

Both the lecture and the roundtable conversation are free and open to the public. Rainbow Aggregator can be viewed in the Student Union near the first floor information desk. To learn more about the artist, watch “Three things about art: Jason Salavon at TEDxMidwest."
