Dutch

Rudxane is a Dutch visual artist whose generative practice explores the boundary between human intention and computational process. Using grids, variation, and controlled randomness, he translates code into visual rhythms that carry traces of human gesture, creating both digital and physical works.

Full Bio

Rudxane is a Dutch visual artist currently based in Amsterdam. He studied photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, discontinued his studies after a year and went on to work as a photographer and videographer behind the scenes with several artists. In 2013 he started a company to support musicians with their back-office work, helping them bring more focus to the creative side of their career development while maintaining control over the business side. Since 2023 he has been working full-time as an artist.

His work explores the intersection of human intention and computational systems, showing how algorithms can reflect traces of human behavior and subjectivity. He codes in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, building grids, repetitions, and variations while introducing subtle irregularities that mimic the nuances of the human hand. He manipulates color, line spacing, density, and grid structure to shape perception, layering, and visual rhythm. His approach employs generative systems that encode randomness, using seeds and controlled variation to produce diverse outputs. Rudxane practice emphasizes experimentation over predetermined outcomes, translating observation and manual gestures into systems that balance control with chance. Increasingly, he experiments with physical–digital translation, producing prints and applying manual techniques to bridge digital creation with tangible form. His work examines the boundary between human and machine, considering which aspects of art remain human when mediated through computation. Rudxane work has been exhibited across Europe, including Magical Realism: Part II at Maddox Gallery in London, Piezo at Galerie Met in Berlin, All At Once with Grailers DAO, and REDACTED with Heft at Paris Photo.
