Nik Putnam is a ceramic and digital media artist fascinated by symmetry and pattern and by the possibilities of human-machine collaboration. In addition to using traditional pottery techniques, he develops hardware and software “robotic assistants” to enhance his studio practice. Before focusing on art-making, Nik was a computational scientist for two decades, doing research in genomics and evolutionary biology. Nik works at home in Arlington, MA, and in the community of artists at the Harvard Ceramics Program.
