Kjetil Golid

Kjetil Golid is a Norwegian generative artist and system developer with a keen interest in algorithms and data structures. A passion for algorithms sparked his journey into generative art. Golid’s projects often begin with the thought, “What would it look like if I did this?” This open-ended process, combined with algorithmic visual translation, results in an intricately pleasing aesthetic.

He champions programming as a platform for creative expression and keeps much of his code open source for others to explore, alter and learn. Golid also creates interactive tools for generating visuals, allowing viewers to explore his systems without any prior coding knowledge. His work has been showcased by institutions such as Kate Vass Galerie, Museum of Contemporary Digital Art and the Venice Biennale.
