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.
A body of work on the fractured picture plane
A generative series that reads long-exposure photographs as data. Custom software measures contrast between pixels to build a topological mesh: fragments sorted by brightness, moving as a single body. Featured piece: thespacesinbetween, showing during NFTNYC at The Canal Street Show.
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.
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.
break, combine, scan, distort, combine
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.
Jes "Lamp" Lamprecht is an award-winning, internationally shown artist working under the name Lampwrecked. Their practice is grounded in corpgen, a term they coined for generative work derived from corporeal forms. Informed by their background in psychology and neuroscience, Lamp approaches artmaking the way the sensory system approaches the world: as an act of transduction. Signals, a flame, a light trail, a gesture, enter as raw data and emerge as structural representation, transformed between the digital and the physical. Their systems don't depict the body so much as think like one, building perception from signal.
They are currently Assistant Director at Cycol Gallery.
