Leo Castañeda A'10

Leo Castañeda A'10 has been named as one of the Knight Foundation's 2023 Knight Arts + Tech Fellows:

"We’re proud to present the 2023 Knight Arts + Tech Fellows — five artists using new and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, immersive installations, and virtual and immersive reality in creative and poetic ways to expand the field. This year’s fellows utilize digital tools as means of storytelling and knowledge production, mediating upon lesser-told histories and speculative futures. Their practices foreground interdisciplinary collaboration, working across mediums, and fostering platforms for education and community-building. Each one receives an unrestricted grant of $50,000 each."

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
