Nicolas Sassoon

Nicolas Sassoon (CA)

Computer Imaging

Speaker Bio

Nicolas Sassoon uses early computer imaging techniques to render a wide array of forms and figures, encoded visually with pixelated patterns and animation.

This focus on early computer graphics is driven by the sculptural, material and pictorial qualities of this imagery, as well as its limitations and its poetics. Sassoon’s work often explores the contemplative and projective dimensions of screen-based images, and how these images can express dimensions of the physical realm. While most of his output is published online, Sassoon also materializes his work into a wide range of medias. His visual research often leads him to engage in cross-disciplinary projects in the fields of architecture, electronic music, textiles, and art.

Nicolas is currently based in Vancouver BC Canada, he is a founder of the collaborative projects SIGNALS and W-A-L-L-P-A-P-E-R-S. His work has been exhibited at The Whitney Museum of American Art (US) Eyebeam (US), Current Museum (US), Vancouver Art Gallery (CA), Plugin ICA (CA), Contemporary Art Gallery (CA), Charles H.Scott Gallery (CA), Western Front (CA), PRETEEN Gallery (MX), Victoria & Albert Museum (UK), the Centre d’Art Bastille (FR), House of Electronic Basel (SW), Arti et Amicitiae (NL), MU Eindhoven (NL) , Today Art Museum (CN), the Berlin Fashion Week (DE)) and the New-York Fashion Week (US).
