Leander Herzog & Milian Mori

Leander Herzog is a visual artist based in Switzerland, creating images with code since 2006. His focus is generative art and abstract animation on the web, exploring the contrast between the simplicity of algorithmic systems and the complexity of their emergent properties.

Herzog's work explores themes of personal and collective memory, as well as how we perceive and respond to societal and political constraints. In the last decade, his work evolved from static images to real-time web-based moving works, including generative audio, interactive installations, data-driven sculpture and digital fabrication.

Herzog’s work has been exhibited in public institutions and galleries, including Transmediale with DAM Projects (Berlin), Kunsthaus Pasquart (Biel), Kunsthalle Zürich, Modal Gallery (Manchester). Previous artworks have been acquired by museums and institutions such as ZKM Karlsruhe, HEK (Basel) and Francisco Carolinum Linz. 

Milian Mori is a composer and a digital artist based in Switzerland. As part of his solo work, he integrates dance, algorithms, pixels and minimal music. In the last 12 years, Mori has developed a musical language that aims to expand, project and reinterpret dance music’s common vocabulary.

Mori shares his deep interest in combining mathematics, geometry and data with emotion, dance and fulfilment: technology meets nature, binary meets fluids, algorithm meets spirituality, dualism meets triality, machine meets human, randomness meets self-similarity. All of his works are trying to open the space which exceeds dualism. His art doesn’t want to answer, nor does it aim to question. 

Mori has been involved in numerous collaborations and a wide array of arts projects, as well as working as a composer, DIY installation artist, sound designer, recording and sound engineer.
