About the Artist
Michael Mittelman has spent over twenty years working at the intersection of art and technology, creating virtual reality sculptures in welded steel, producing interactive installations and using digital fabrication to create novel works. His art has been shown locally and nationally, including at the List Center for Visual Arts, the deCordova Museum, Mayyim Hayyim and the Spalter Digital Art Collection. He holds a BA from Wesleyan University and an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art, with additional study in architecture through Columbia University’s NY Paris program. “I actually think everyone should make a symbolic seder plate for themselves that expresses their identity and values. Jews have been iterating on seder plates for generations. As one of our moveable traditions, it invites creative expression.” — Michael Mittelman
