I am a computer scientist from Virginia and the co-founder of
Mitchell and Yun Studios. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BS in Computer Science.
What does it mean to create algorithmic art?
Algorithmic art is created by a human with a computer. It is created via hand written software. Programming languages allow the artist to command the computer to work. It is not created via passing prompts to a an AI created by someone else. Algorithmic artists are no different than painters, we just exist in a different form. A cluttered studio becomes a failing harddrive.
I wish I could talk more about my process or why I made a work a certain way. A lot of my work starts as a technical idea.
Above a certain level of complexity, no code based artist can 100% tell you what something is going to look like until they see the computer actually run.
My process, however robotic this may seem, is as follows:
This is my studio. My preferred integrated development environment (where I write code) currently is Jetbrain’s Webstorm. I also like to work in SublimeText for text editing.
Here is my greatest accomplishment so far, Durango (2023) at Art on Paper:
Here is my first piece of generative art from my school days (2014):
Outside of art, I enjoy cycling and music production.
