  • Frederick “Derick” Ostrenko received his MFA in digital media from the Rhode Island School of Design. He holds joint appointments at LSU: he is the program coordinator and associate professor of digital art at the School of Art and a member of the cultural computing research group at the Center for Computation & Technology (CCT). He teaches classes in creative coding, 3D graphics, interactive installation, and video production.

    Ostrenko is a media artist and creates physical and virtual systems that examine the intersections of media, culture, and technology.
