Lives and works in Groningen, Netherlands

Piter Pasma is a generative artist based in Groningen, the Netherlands, inspired by the power of math and code. Pasma’s background in the competitive demoscene of the late 1990s honed his expertise in writing algorithms in their most efficient form, and he’s won multiple prizes for real-time audiovisual artworks contained in under 4 kilobytes. He is known for creating photorealistic generative artworks with mathematical functions, often using as few characters as possible. Pasma enjoys encouraging others to create by organizing Genuary, an annual event where artists create daily pieces according to 31 carefully selected prompts.
