Jordan Graves is the Queen of Code. She has crafted 0’s and 1’s into a rich tapestry of art and design. And like her work, she defies genres and leaps over antiquated definitions. Graves is a successful and steadfast entrepreneur; her success stems from her ability to create immersive and engaging shopping experiences. She treats her customers like artists, allowing them to experience true human-computer interactions. Not content to create static pieces, her work draws the viewer into joyful dialogues with technologies that are often perceived as cold and unpleasant. Jordan is a scientific explorer. She dives deep into a subject exposing all its sides and then dissects it, ponders it, and then reassembles it into something altogether different.
Computer code is a material for Jordan. Where most artists sculpt clay and cleave wood, she stacks mathematical formulas, and intricate scripts into binary codes that create works of art that are truly alive. People like Jordan are the future, right now.
