Ben G. R. is an artist and creative technologist from Austin, Texas.
My work explores generative art, transmedia storytelling, immersive live music, ritual, and community.
I am a problem solver who finds artistic fulfillment in facilitating the creation of collaborative works of art.
I design, create, and perform with TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine, Adobe (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator), Blender, Ableton, QLab, Watchout, and Resolume.
You can find my Instagram at instagram.com/beng.r.
I also mix sets and produce music at linktr.ee/beng.r.
Email me at hello@bengr.studio.
