Caleb is a hacker-turned-artist who specializes in mathy lenticular holograms. Using math he learned doing radio hacking (breaking into cars and bypassing security systems), Caleb now visually explores various mathematical landscapes. He is the creator of the worlds first non-binary graphing calculator - a free program called FuzzyGraph. FuzzyGraph shows not only where equations are exactly equal (like conventional true/false graphing calculators do), but also shows where equations are close to equal (or far from equal). This produces wild and colorful gradients which show a whole new dimension to mathematical topographies that conventional true/false graphing calculators do not show.

Caleb has presented his research and art at many conferences including DEF CON, PyCon, HOPE 2024, Cyphercon, Thotcon, Deepsec, and many others. Caleb has exhibited art at various galleries including Cat Eye Creative, 29 North, GilmerArts, and the Marblehead Arts Association. Caleb now lives with his family in the ~wavy~ mountains of north Georgia in a little town called Ellijay.
