Profile
Joshua Trees is an artist reimagining the art school as a platform for collective inquiry and queer futurity. His research blends creative computing, experimental publishing, and social practice, using open-source tools, digital commons, and temporary networks to cultivate collaborative approaches to authorship, ownership and world-building. His design of Emigre #59 is in the collections of MoMA, SFMOMA, Design Museum London, Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum. Recent honors include a Google Artists + Machine Intelligence Research Award and a typographer-in-residence appointment at the Hoffmitz Milken Center for Typography. He is Associate Professor of Communication Design at Parsons and has held faculty positions at the Royal College of Art, University of the Arts London, Pratt Institute, and ArtCenter.
