The Knowledge with David Elikwu

David speaks with Sterling Crispin, an Artist and Software Engineer.

Sterling is a conceptual artist and software engineer who works with machine intelligence, generative art, and techno-sculpture. His artwork oscillates between the computational beauty of nature and our conflicting cultural narratives about the apocalypse.
