SCADcast: 'On Creativity' with Roberto Carlos Lange (Helado Negro)

How to Spread a Smile … SCAD alum Roberto Carlos Lange (B.F.A., computer art, 2003) takes artistic experimentation and exploration to new heights through his music, films, installations, and visual art. Under his musical moniker, Helado Negro, Lange has become a Latinx icon, advocate, and role model. His bold expression and spirited positivity are undeniable features of his much-loved work. As a proud member of the SCAD Class of 2003, Lange continues mentoring current students, instilling a work ethic that can accomplish anything.

For this live On Creativity, presented as part of the university's Guests and Gusto series, Lange spoke on Zoom with SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace from his current studio at Ballroom Marfa in West Texas. Before a virtual audience, the two examine Lange's road to success, compositional techniques, and collaborative nature. Lange also fields questions from current SCAD students in a Q&A moderated by Angel Chiclana (B.F.A. sound design).
