About
Hi, my name is Max Horwich.
I am a musician, designer, teacher and creative technologist living and working in Brooklyn, NY.
To the extent that my work has a prevailing theme or unifying concept, I am interested in approaching New Media as a contemporary form of Folk Art. Since computers are every bit as ubiquitous today as any tool or material historically used in Folk Art practices, it stands to reason that they could be utilized to similar ends.
When I’m not using my computer to make things, I’m teaching other people how to use their computers to make things. When I’m doing neither of those things, I’m playing with my dog.
