Use the Present Perimeter to create art. | Jonathan Nesci | The Art Assignment

The video explores Jonathan Nessy's design philosophy, focusing on his use of geometric systems like the Present Perimeter. Inspired by a school geometry project, Nessy emphasizes the importance of parameters in creativity. The video also discusses historical art precedents and the freedom provided by systematic processes. An art assignment challenges viewers to create using the Present Perimeter system, highlighting the potential of various materials and frameworks.
