--> Artist Statement <--

Thor Soelyst Farup is a multidisciplinary artist and creative technologist exploring the intersection of digital media, interactive design, and contemporary art practices. Through a diverse body of work spanning video art, sculpture, graphic design, and sound installations, Thor investigates themes of perception, space, and human-technology relationships.

With a background in both fine arts and interactive coding, Thor creates immersive experiences that challenge conventional boundaries between viewer and artwork. Their practice is rooted in experimental approaches that blur the lines between digital and physical realms, often incorporating generative systems, real-time interaction, and unconventional media to create thought-provoking installations and performances.

Thor's work has been exhibited in various galleries and cultural spaces, where audiences are invited to engage with pieces that question the nature of perception, authorship, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Drawing inspiration from glitch aesthetics, computational art, and avant-garde cinema, their projects often explore the poetic potential of technological failure and the unexpected beauty found in system breakdowns.

Currently based in Amsterdam and studying at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Thor continues to develop a practice that embraces interdisciplinary collaboration and technical experimentation. Their recent work investigates themes of digital materiality, algorithmic composition, and the ways in which technology mediates our experience of reality. Through video, sound, code, and sculpture, Thor seeks to create moments of wonder, disruption, and reflection.

Beyond individual practice, Thor is actively engaged in the broader creative technology community, participating in workshops, talks, and collaborative projects that explore the future of art and technology. With each new project, Thor pushes the boundaries of what's possible when artistic vision meets technical innovation, creating work that is both conceptually rigorous and emotionally resonant.

--> Interactive Coding <--

At the intersection of code and creativity, this collection showcases web-based interactive experiences, generative art systems, and experimental digital interfaces. Using JavaScript, CSS, and creative coding frameworks, these projects explore how computational thinking can generate new forms of artistic expression.

From algorithmic animations to responsive web installations, each piece demonstrates the potential of code as a medium for storytelling, play, and aesthetic exploration.

--> Video Work <--

Through the lens, time becomes malleable. This collection features experimental films, documentaries, and video installations that investigate narrative structure, visual rhythm, and the moving image as a site of inquiry. Influenced by avant-garde cinema and video art traditions, these works explore themes of memory, landscape, and the sublime.

Each piece uses the camera not just to document, but to transform—creating new ways of seeing and experiencing the world through montage, manipulation, and poetic editing.

--> Sculpture Work <--

Working with physical materials—clay, metal, found objects, and mixed media—this body of sculptural work explores form, weight, and spatial relationships. These three-dimensional pieces invite viewers to move around them, discovering new perspectives and experiencing the interplay between solid and void, light and shadow.

From intimate hand-built ceramics to large-scale installations, each sculpture is an investigation into materiality, process, and the ways objects occupy and activate space.

--> Graphic Design <--

Visual communication through typography, layout, and image-making. This collection spans brand identities, poster designs, experimental type treatments, and print publications. Drawing from modernist traditions while embracing contemporary digital tools, these works balance clarity with conceptual depth.

Each design is a carefully considered composition where form meets function, and aesthetic choices serve to amplify meaning and create memorable visual experiences.

--> Sound Work <--

Sound as sculpture, atmosphere, and narrative. This collection encompasses field recordings, electronic compositions, ambient soundscapes, and audio installations. Working with found sounds, synthesizers, and recording technology, these pieces explore the spatial and emotional dimensions of listening.

From immersive multi-channel installations to intimate headphone pieces, each work invites careful attention to texture, rhythm, and the spaces between sounds.
