About Me
Hi, I'm 0xbenj. I'm a coder, generative artist and photographer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.I've been building enterprise-level software for 24 years in areas such as energy utilities, billing management, customer care and financial services.My art practice is my creative, right-brained balance to my otherwise analytical, left-brained 9-to-5 work. I make art under a pseudonym as it allows me freedom to take creative risks I might otherwise not feel able to.I used to run a coffee business. I have an unnecessarily complicated daily coffee ritual.Cheers.
Photography
I started photography in 2008 when I was living and travelling around Europe. My work tends towards long exposure seascapes and cityscapes. In recent years, I've also started practicing street photography.
Kinetics
Kinetics is inspired by a series of 16 sculptures, by Romanian artist Constantin Brâncuși, called Bird in Space. Each piece utilizes long, flowing curves to build up form and texture over time.
10 editions.
This is a mini-collection of 10 animated pieces made for the Generative Advent Calendar event in December 2023. I was one of 24 artists who contributed to this collection. Made with Javascript (and the p5.js and chroma.js libraries) as well as GLSL.
