Piter Pasma

Biography

Piter Pasma is a generative artist, expressing himself through experiments with code and complexity. Inspired by randomness as an inspirational and creative force. Among the space of algorithms are buried gems in carefully tuned black boxes, concrete trap doors leading to unexpected dungeon forests, only seen when you open them a thousand times, sideways.

Starting as a demoscener in 1998, he wrote four prize-winning 4 kilobyte demos (non-interactive real-time size-constrained audio-visuals). Since then he has been honing his creative coding skills. He has been lead organizer of Genuary 2021 and Genuary 2022, generative art month, during which artists create daily pieces according to 31 carefully selected prompts. You can find many of these pieces by searching for #genuary / #genuary2021 / #genuary2022 on social media (Twitter, Instagram). An open gallery of artist-submitted pieces from 2021 can be viewed at Symbiocene.gallery.

On 27th September 2021 he released Skulptuur, a generative art project on the Art Blocks platform. It consists of 6370 characters of Javascript and GLSL, and produced an incredible variety of highly photorealistic scenes of otherwordly sculptures, in a series of 1000.
