Bio

James Merrill is a professional artist that resides in Vermont, USA. Native to digital mediums, his portfolio includes an eclectic mix of generative, 3D, and plottable art.

He presents his artwork through multiple lenses, often utilizing generative code to create static imagery, animations, physical plotter drawings, and interactive art installations. Each artwork is the result of an ongoing exploration of mathematics. His upbringing ignited a passion for breaking barriers by using visuals to self-educate himself on fundamental mathematic concepts.

James' work has been displayed internationally, with installations from Times Square to The Netherlands. He has been curated online in exhibitions with Artblocks, Unit London, Highlight and Feral File.

Artist Statement

I seek to render chaos with the perfection of mathematics. I find patterns within datasets and create visions utilizing them. My data may be purely random, derived from blockchains, or entered via interfaces from myself or others. I create generative systems capable of returning infinite unique artworks by incorporating techniques I've cultivated for over 25 years of designing digital artwork.
