Bio
Nikolas Maigret is a French artist who creates experimental work centered around the automation of digital media. He often works in performance, installation, sound, radio, programming, etc. In contrast to artists deriving something other from extrapolated data, Maigret concerns himself with the automation of the data into its own form, unaffected by alternative modes of conceptualization. One of his works is titled Pure Data Read as Pure Data, and depicts the moving trip through the binary code structure to uncover its "hidden" aestheticism.
Quotation
"In his creations he experiments the possibilities of contemporary technologies to auto-generate aesthetic forms, sound or visual languages and specific behaviors. His work is as well a micro-laboratory as a point of view on the technological tools and there influences on our way of thinking and of acting. "

"Pure Data read as pure data, a trip through the back of the binary code, and its hidden qualities: Structure, logic, rhythm, redundancy, composition..."

Nikolas Maigret's work relates to where I started with my work. I was really interested in the similarities between binary code and genetic sequencing. My earlier work differs from Maigret's on a fundamental level since I was manipulating the automation of the binary system to comment on an conceptual motivation, instead of allowing the pure code become the aesthetic object. Now, my work is more centered on myself as the creator, with technology as my influence. Form and design is important to my work in addition to the conceptual framework of technology and its functioning. That being said, parts of my work are pure videos of the way technology behaves when captured in a recording device, like my camera, or sound recorder. A CRT TV screen or computer screen takes on a different lifeform when translated into video, and that part of the installation is unaltered and free from additional manipulation in conceptual motive.
