Cameron Alexander is an artist, programmer, and scientist based in New York. He is interested in the implications the tools we use have on what we create and the aesthetics that emerge from the spaces in between. His work explores these spaces and draws parallels to the relationship between math and nature (especially in chaos, cybernetics, and fractals), esoteric states of consciousness, and the essence of reality. Cameron primarily operates with experimental media such as interactive installations, live coded audiovisual performances, and alternative-process photography.
Cameron received his B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Houston in 2015. He has been creating computer-based generative art since 2011, and his work has been exhibited, installed, and performed in galleries, theaters, clubs, and venues worldwide.
Cameron is a member of the New York-based collective livecode.nyc, where he organizes shows, gives livecoding workshops, and performs live coded visuals and music at algoraves. Cameron is involved in community building, education, curation, and creating sustainable alternative power structures.
You, Sorted at Glitch: New Flesh
You, Sorted is an interactive interactive media installation involving a camera and a projector. A vibrant, pixel-sorted, and glitchy mirror image of the viewer is presented, with the code generating the image overlaid.
The mirror invites viewers to imagine how cyberspace represents them: data that needs sorting. By exposing the code, we envision an alternative to the opaque and dangerous algorithms of capitalism that govern our lives, a future of radical transparency and open source.
Planned Unobsolescence at MY _____ IS AN ECOSYSTEM
In a hyper technologized civilization where corporations chase profit, with no regard for the delicate balance that sustains all life on earth, what was once considered an advanced supercomputer is now treated as garbage. These devices are actively designed to be difficult to repair and easy to break. This piece is a call to reject the rampant consumerism of the contemporary tech industry so that we can begin to reestablish balance and exist sustainably with our planet.
