Asendorf is one of the most prominent artists in a renaissance of code-based digital art. His practice sits at the intersection of conceptual visual systems, algorithms, and data manipulation. Writing his own code and contracts, his work merges generative art, glitch aesthetics, and conceptual approaches to digital media.
For Asendorf, the pixel is the atomic unit of digital art. He draws on the legacies of modern and contemporary artists who worked with systems, processes, and emergent visual forms, including pioneers of generative and algorithmic art such as Vera Molnár, Manfred Mohr, Lillian Schwartz, Herbert W. Franke and Frieder Nake. His approach echoes minimal and conceptual art practices, including instruction-based art, chance operations, and open processes, as well as abstract and op art, exploring geometry, seriality, and patterned compositions. Provoking critical reflection on software, networks, and online culture, he continues the work of early internet practitioners such as JODI. Merging chance and randomness, errors and glitches, repetition and seriality, signal and noise, his practice exposes the digital medium’s foundations and probes the conditions of contemporary digital media. Since 2021 he predominantly works with moving visual systems which are complex, absorbing, pulsing and mesmerizing.
Join us and artist Kim Asendorf for a conversation on generative art, and the intersection of digital aesthetics and technology in contemporary media.
