Welcome to episode 96 of the FTX Podcast with special guest Tyler Hobbs and your host Tristan Yver.Tyler is a visual artist from Austin, Texas who works primarily with algorithms, plotters, and paint. His artwork focuses on computational aesthetics, how they are shaped by the biases of modern computer hardware and software, and how they relate to and interact with the natural world around us. Tyler develops and programs custom algorithms that are used to generate visual imagery. Often, these strike a balance between the cold, hard structure that computers excel at, and the messy, organic chaos we can observe in the natural world around us.Tyler’s work has been shown internationally, and has been collected in more than a dozen countries around the world.
