"Drawing with Machines" Students to Open Show in New York This January - School of Art

Work from Professor Golan Levin’s “Drawing with Machines” advanced studio will travel to the Bantam Machine Art Gallery for a monthlong exhibition, with a preview now on view in the College of Fine Arts.

Next month, innovative new work from Professor Golan Levin’s “Drawing with Machines” advanced studio will open at the Bantam Machine Art Gallery in Peekskill, New York. On view January 9-31, 2026, the exhibition brings student projects into a venue dedicated to artists working at the intersection of code, craft, and computation.

It’s a fitting setting for the drawings: Throughout the fall semester, Levin, TA Santi Salazar, and the students have explored how machines can become collaborators, working at the boundaries of creative code, automation, physical materials, and gestural mark-making. Their personal explorations of new approaches to digital imaging include the development of ultra-niche workflows as a mode of creative practice and the use of algorithms and machine collaborators as nontraditional intermediaries between mind, hand, and paper.

For those on campus, a preview of the exhibition is currently installed in the College of Fine Arts third-floor foyer outside the School of Art office. The multimedia installation features work by students Alice Tang, Ana Jungle, Angie Bonilla, Aren Davey, Bee Jackson, Bosi Li, Brooke Schwartz, Carla Flores Travez, Dario Quintero, Emma Deng, Emma Im, Ian Giles, Jeffrey Wang, Leslie Liu, Lorie Chen, Nicole Huang, Owen Weltchek, Tippi Li, and Xiao Yuan.
