Nicola Larusso
With a background in Architecture, Lorusso developed a passion for computational design and advanced technologies. His interest lies at the convergence between art and technology, human and artificial, analogue and digital.
Lorusso is fascinated by the physical interactions between matter and forces and his work aims to make visible the hidden reactions between objects. His artworks directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences as data sets for his generative algorithms. He designs custom-made algorithms that turn sound into digitally simulated forces with which he creates line-based artworks.
Each drawing carries the sonic fingerprint of the music, voice or sounds it was generated with. The digital linework is drawn on paper with a pen plotter that simulates a human hand with the precision of a computer. The artist is particularly fascinated by the short-circuit generated by these two opposites.
While sound-driven drawing algorithms are his main line of research, he is also currently working with cloth-like and magnetic fields simulations.
