CODED: Chilled Out Sessions
Experience CODED: Digital Art that Defies Definition in our 'Chilled Out' opening hours at 9.00am - 10.00am every Monday from 24 July until 10 September 2023.
These morning viewings are for anyone who would like to visit this popular exhibition but would like a more relaxed experience. Small adjustments will be made and venue staff will be on hand to help support your visit.
Step into our new digital art exhibition and interact with a spectacular, coded environment that reacts to noise, movement, and touch. Watch as you influence how shapes change and grow into new patterns and fantastical creatures. Infinite possibilities await!
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.
This exhibition is Pay What You Decide – your support is greatly appreciated and helps us to bring exciting exhibitions to life.
About the works:
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.
More about the artist:
Marpi Studio makes work inspired by the complexities of the natural world and the possibilities of alternate futures.
Whether self-directed or commissioned, our artworks for public, private, and digital space bring environments, entities, and behaviours into being with code. We ask our audiences to co-create with us, transforming their interactions into avatars, gestures, and physics that shape the work in playful and unexpected ways.
Founded in San Francisco in 2019 by Marpi, a creative technologist and artist, Marpi Studio is now based in the Bay Area, California.
This exhibition has been produced in collaboration between Lincoln Museum and Lumen Art Projects.
Exhibition open in the New Curtois Gallery, Lincoln Museum
Open Thursday - Monday, 10am - 4pm
