Romanian artist Nicu Popescu blends technology and visual expression. Using p5.js for generative art, Arduino for real-time parameter control, and selectively incorporating photography, his canvas is a playground for experimentation.

Cellular Automata and Turing Patterns are companions on a journey that explores the profound questions of human nature, society, surveillance, control, manipulation of information, and the fluidity of time.

Nicu’s diverse interests, spanning digital art, product design, woodworking, sculpture, and Arduino fuel and shape his career in generative art. His journeys around the world, coupled with a love for interacting with people, inspire his creative pursuits through exposure to diverse cultures, landscapes, and art forms.
