Kenneth Craig Lambert
Born Cape Town, South Africa.
Artist Statement
“I am an experimental digital artist who explores the human condition through the lens of technology. Utilising data sets, generative algorithms and sound frequencies I create experiences that evoke a sense of time and space. My intention is to entice the viewer into a meditative state in order to affect their senses in a way that is self-reflective.
My art practice incorporates specific themes derived from scientific research, which inspire my thinking as well as the work’s execution. With a foundation in spatial design for museums and film production, I work across motion, audio, form, surface and installation. My process is fluid, a concept can start with data translated into the virtual and then evolve again to take the physical form of a surface painting.
I am fascinated by art derived from scientific exploration that reflects a universal truth, specifically themes relating to human anxiety. Most recently my explorations have included big data and its potential impact on our sense of identity and autonomy. Concurrently concerns around climate change have driven in explorations across the field of physics and particle acceleration.”
