A departure from hand-based rendering systems
From photographs to laser etching, flame to video, and finally an interactive synthesizer — each transformation of the work communicates sensory realities of inhabiting a body with chronic illness.
Collages of artists who came before
Self-portraits from artists in the public domain were digitally hand cut into layers and recombined through a generative system. A long lineage of self-representation and art history torn apart and reassembled into new composites.
Browser instruments from natural systems
Interactive synthesizers driven by mycelial growth, neural meshes, live wind data, and ripple physics. Each instrument is a small ecology of sound.

A broken glass sculpture scanned in 3D, manipulated as form, and projected back onto the original sculpture. The artifact and its data double held in superposition.
Lampwrecked is a New York–based artist. As shifting medical circumstances have moved them away from painting, their conceptual practice has expanded into experiments across many mediums. A background in neuroscience, art history, and psychology informs work rooted in sensory processing and biological experience.
By day, Lamp is Assistant Director of Gallery Operations at Cycol Gallery in the Lower East Side.
