Pittsburgh Artist Seeks Go Players for Film Project

Pittsburgh-based artist Jesse Kauppila is looking for two "highly skilled go players, hopefully dan-level, who can memorize and reenact a historic go game which I can film." An artist in Carnegie Mellon Univeristy's MFA program, Kauppila is working on visualization/film project in which "I will be visualizing a game of go using a 7 axis Robot and 20,000 Legos." The project is an extension of Kauppila's recent public art project, "Checker Brick House." "I am located in Pittsburgh, but I am willing to travel for this project," Kauppila says. Contact him here. Image: Kauppila's "Bitmap Machine"
