I believe that art doesn’t truly exist unless someone views it. The art is completed in the space between the object and the viewer.” — Brendan Dawes

Brendan Dawes is a distinguished UK-based artist renowned for his inventive integration of generative systems, data, machine learning, and code in the realm of digital art.

Dawes’ work is a testament to the evolving relationship between technology and art, showcasing how data can be transformed into aesthetically pleasing and thought-provoking pieces.

His notable works include Cinema Redux (2004), which became a part of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York's permanent collection in 2008, and Three Steps Forward (2022), a collaborative piece with Emmet Cohen. The latter garnered considerable attention, premiering at NFT.NYC and featured in Christie’s Cartography of the Mind charity NFT auction.
