Biography
Andreas Rau is a generative artist and interaction designer whose work incorporates playful interactions, dynamic patterns, rich textures, unexpected breaks and overlapping rhythms. He explores the relationship between people and their physical and digital environments through kinetic sculptures, plotter drawings and generative visuals. While the blockchain and NFTs have created a new context for his purely digital work, many of Rau's works have a physical component, relying on tools such as a pen plotter, CNC machine or weaving loom. His art is inspired by traditional textile masters such as Gunta Stölzl, Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Anni Albers as seen in his genesis fx(hash) project, Loom.
