P1xelfool

P1xelfool is a Brazilian artist who quickly rose to prominence in 2021 for his code-based artworks. His practice renders 3D geometric systems as pixelated 2D animations evocative of scientific diagrams, particle simulations, and otherworldly entities. Mainly released as animated GIFs and real-time code, P1xelfool’s creations are written using Processing, an open-source and community-led software. The artist regards the perception of time and space as a starting point for his computational art — more specifically how screens, pixels, and code allow for intersubjectivity. In one of his most recent projects, gämma , curated by Kerry Doran, the artist focused specifically on the perceptual limits of the screen, and of code as light. The artist is also known for his community-driven initiatives such as BRG.exe , a foundation investing and supporting Brazilian generative and digital artists.
