BIO

Aidan Lincoln Fowler is a multi-disciplinary artist based out of Brooklyn, NY who uses a wide array of new media technology, digital fabrication tools, and machine learning to create light sculptures, illusions, generative art, neural network art. Generally, he creates physical sculptures that look like renders and renders that look like real world artifacts. 

Recently, Aidan has been developing his video infinity mirror series: Infinite Reflections (the first video infinity mirrors) and has shown them across the country including, along with multiple other works, in the Telfair Museum in Savannah Georgia- Beyond: Light, Color, and Illusion. He has also recently shown Infinite Reflections and other works in Currents New Media Festival in Santa Fe, Myta Sayo Gallery In Toronto, and Hot Bed gallery in Philadelphia.

Aidan finished his post-doc residency at NYU TISCH School Of The Arts Interactive Telecommunication Program in 2022 where he also completed his MPS in 2021. He has previously completed degrees in  Computer Science (MS) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (BSx2) at Johns Hopkins University.

STATEMENT

My aim as an artist is to push the viewer into an altered state where they can step out of their normal thought patterns and experience the feeling of being present in the current moment. My work mostly consists of physical illusions in the form of sculptures using leds, lenses, speciality films, and camera tracking to create objects which look like they should not be able to exist or appear to be computer renders. The light works are intended to have a therapeutic effect on the viewer pushing them into a state of mindfulness, focus, and hopefully joy.
