    Kaspars Jaudzems is a digital artist working mainly in code - designing, building, sequencing and composing works using algorithms and numbers. He has a strong background in engineering and uses that to build complex technological installations, interactive works and interfaces, trying to explore mathematical and physical raw building blocks [of existance] in relation to technology.

    In a heavy cyber punk inspired style he reflects upon threats that we are facing and hypothetical technological utopias and dystopias of near future. He uses code and cybernetic feedback loops, to create generative audiovisual compositions and new experiences.

      Biography

      Born 1984, in Riga, Latvia, after a decade working in technology related startups across Europe (London, Madrid, Riga) and creating state of the art tech solutions, Kaspars challenged himself to much more experimental, artistic and personal work. He went to study New Media Art at Liepaja University and after graduating, moved to Karlsruhe, Germany to study Music Informatics at the Music University. Electronic music and sound is an important part in his creative vision, and Karlsruhe which is known for being one of the first live-coding scenes and home to the ZKM - a very unique media art institution, served as an exciting environment to expand from visual media to sound and music. During this time installation projects evolved into live-coded or algorithmically sequenced performances.
