Bryan Czibesz

Bryan Czibesz is an Associate Professor in the Art Department at SUNY New Paltz. He holds an MFA from San Diego State University and a BA from Humboldt State University. His research explores the intersection of digital technologies and ceramic art, focusing on how prosthetic tools mediate human creativity and physicality. Czibesz’s work combines hand-building techniques with 3D printing and microcontroller systems to create sculptural pieces that juxtapose organic and artificial forms.

Education:

• MFA in Art, San Diego State University
• BA in Art, Humboldt State University

Research Interests: His practice investigates material dialectics between clay and technology, creating works that critique and celebrate technological intervention in artmaking. Projects often invite viewers as active participants in interpreting binaries like 'biological vs artificial' or 'graceful vs awkward.'
