Nicolas Sassoon

Nicolas Sassoon is a Franco-Canadian artist based in Vancouver who works with early computer imaging techniques. His images are built from pixel patterns, moire and animation, and he is drawn to that imagery for its sculptural and pictorial qualities as much as for its limits. The work explores what screen-based space can hold, and how a digital image can carry something of the physical world. He is a founder of the collaborative projects SIGNALS and W-A-L-L-P-A-P-E-R-S, and his visual research has taken him into architecture, electronic music and textiles.
