A multi-screen installation of Binary Garden (created first in 2017 and adapted here for a unique presentation at Lincoln Museum) merges algorithms, touchscreen, and audio interaction, from gallery based, local and remote audiences into a dazzling interactive artwork.
Creature-based works from Marpi’s Island Series (begun in 2021) grow, change, and respond to human movement and interaction.
This exhibition has been produced in collaboration between Lincoln Museum and Lumen Art Projects.
International artist Marpi makes art from the language of coding and computers. Inspired by the life and legacy of 19th century Lincolnshire mathematician, George Boole, this exhibition has been brought together to explore what happens when code is set free.
Throughout his work with musicians, artists, and performers, Marpi explores the visual and interactive possibilities of organic patterns found in machine codes. He challenges computer structures and explores how art made with code can copy organic forms.
