Steve Roden was a visual and sound artist born on April 27, 1964, in Los Angeles, where he also passed away on September 6, 2023. His artistic practice encompassed various mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film/video, sound installation, and performance. Roden's creative process involved the use of specific notation forms, such as words, musical scores, and maps, which he translated through self-invented systems into scores that influenced his work across different mediums. These scores were characterized by rigid parameters and rules, yet allowed for intuitive decisions and unexpected turns, serving as a formal skeleton upon which his abstract finished works were built.
