Professor Peter Terezakis, Director
Peter Terezakis is an Associate Arts Professor at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. In 1974 he began creating jewelry-sized electronic works of art. His ideas grew to gallery-sized works, then to an interactive building, and eventually to monumental scale temporary installations of a kinetic light sculpture in deserts, forests, and national parks. In 2007 he developed Sacred Sky Sacred Earth, a theatrical event combining art, dance, education, and music to focus on precious – and vanishing – open spaces.
Since 2014, Peter has taught classes on environmental issues, often bringing students to Black Rock Forest for a weekend in nature. He has also taught a class in Cell Phone Cinema and another in the recurring principles in Art and Technology. After being embedded with an NSF-NYU sponsored expedition to Greenland’s Helheim Glacier in 2019, Terezakis developed a class for students to understand and prepare for the impact Abrupt Climate Change will have on humanity and their lives.
