Quayola

Quayola is a London-based artist who uses technology to explore the tensions and equilibriums between opposing forces: the real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new.

Using audiovisual performance, immersive video installations, sculpture, and works on paper, he builds immersive installations reimagining and engaging with contemporary technology. Quayola’s work has been performed and exhibited in many institutions worldwide, including the V&A Museum, Park Avenue Armory, Palais de Tokyo, Ars Electronica, Sonar Festival and Sundance Film Festival. He has also collaborated with musical projects, composers and orchestras, including the London Contemporary Orchestra and Jamie XX.

STORMS

This series of video works uses ultra-high-definition footage of Cornwall’s stormy seas as a dataset to generate new computational paintings. The works “paint themselves” over the flow of dilated time, pictorial forms that untangle on the canvas/screen, crumbling towards abstraction. Although the link with reality thins on a retinal level, the paintings are generated from the exact same “natural data” captured en plein air. The machine is programmed to produce a “traditional painting” of a digital substance, a painting of pixels.
