Matt Perkins a.k.a. Nudoru has released a number of well-known and amazing generative art projects on fxhash. In this episode you’ll hear all about how he has developed and honed his skill of creating art with code in a way that does not look like code at all. His impressionistic style in particular is second to none. Matt draws lines back to his first experiences with digital art in early ANSI art, bulletin boards, the demoscene and the Internet pre-dot-com. We also get to hear about the Lake Festival drop on Verse and the Art Under The Oaks event with IRL display of his generative art.
