About
Mikhail / Arsiliath
I am an artist and researcher, based in Washington state, USA.
I mainly work in CUDA C++. I am inspired by Sage Jenson, Dagmar Iber, and the field of Artificial Life.
I love teaching and have created several courses.
Artist info by Ignacio Sutan and Yujia Liu:
"Arsiliath is an artist and programmer, who deploys nature-inspired algorithms and physics simulations to capture encounters with ancient alien life. Inspired by Sage Jenson, Dagmar Iber, and Andy Lomas, Arsiliath looks for surprising systems to add a bizarre yet delicate touch to make things feel alive. His works reveal the distinctive patterns descended from a cosmos that was tuned differently. Besides research-based art projects, he also teaches online programming and art classes.
Arsiliath is the one that showed me the world of BioArt and Artificial lifeforms. They are like what we call in the music world "a dj of djs." Their technical mastery is astounding, and the complexity and detail of their simulations are almost unparalleled. I love how every artist that you ask tells you the same: what Arsiliath does is crazy hard technically while also incredibly beautiful."
