ASHER YOUNG is a New York-based artist who started out creating theatrical haunted houses instead of going trick-or-treating as a kid. A childhood education in magic ignited a love of performance and communal spectacle, leading him to design and direct theater and music shows. He graduated from Yale with a degree in Computing and the Arts – an interdisciplinary program that combines computer science, art, music, and theater – and received the Susan J. Smith Prize for outstanding contribution in the Arts. Asher spent a few years creating new shows at an immersive theatrical production company before leaving to pursue his own artistic practice full-time, focusing on developing original work individually and with a wide range of collaborators.
