ARTIST STATEMENT

I program algorithms, create virtual worlds and build painting robots.
As an artist who is working both in the digital and the analog domain I have been exploring algorithms that leave traces on canvas in one form or another for many years.
.I create virtual worlds in which these traces come to life and I build machines that help me to bring these traces back into the real world.
While my approach and concepts are mostly analytical, the whole process is playful and experimental. I strive to create images that also have an immediate emotional quality.
