Dante Lentz
Visual Artist
Bio
I am a multimedia performance artist and freelance technologist with a focus on TouchDesigner and MaxMSP/Jitter. My practice revolves around creating highly conceptual real-time networks involving motion tracking, 3D graphics, and digital synthesis. With exhibitions in NYC, Chicago, and LA, I have established a presence in prominent art scenes.
My technical expertise extends to pose tracking (utilizing Kinect or MediaPipe), GLSL Particle Systems, OSC data transmission, and Projection Mapping. Additionally, I have produced music videos, managed DMX lighting, and contributed to large-scale productions at institutions such as Red Bull Arts New York and The Highline.
For the past 13 years, I have also served as an artist assistant to blue-chip artists in NYC, providing invaluable insight into the art world. Whether collaborating on large-scale productions or working one-on-one in artists’ studios, I bring a wealth of experience and creativity to every project.
Feel free to explore my commercial videos on Instagram and my artwork on YouTube. You can also find a selection of my TouchDesigner music videos in the links provided below my name.
