Documenting the Legacy and Revival of the Washington Society

From Virginia Beach, Lucas Piette discovered his passion for blending the worlds of art and technology. He went to two high schools: spending half his day at a Math and Science program and the rest at the Governor’s School for the Arts where he concentrated in visual arts. Pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Studio Art at UVA, he explores the intersection of analytical and creative thought through graphics, new media, and cinematography. His artistic journey has been marked by experimentation with diverse mediums, from fiber arts to animation, culminating in a focus on the expression of liminality and ambience in film and music. Outside of academics, Lucas is the social chair and a student DJ at WXTJ student radio and an active member of the Washington Society.
