This talented and ever-ambitious duo of audio-visual architects and toolmakers create captivating experiences in generative art that demand expertise in math, programming, and the science of sound. By crafting mesmerizing digital creations on astonishingly permeable frontiers solely through coding and modular equipment, they expand the boundaries of video content and a sample-free language that is luxurious and remarkably unique. Starting from their uncontrollable fascinations with death, the unknown, and the cosmos, they produce exciting, precise, painterly code-art that addresses significant philosophical questions and offers mesmerizing, though highly speculative, answers.
Together, Kristina and Aleksandr produce contemporary generative art and innovative tools, elevating the standards for the synergistic possibilities of visuals and sound. Since founding 404.zero in 2016, they have collaborated on a host of immersive projects, always ready to take on the challenge of inventing new things—modular music, generative visuals, and media production tools.
They have participated in numerous international festivals around the world, including Dark Mofo, MUTEK, GAMMA, Electric Castle Festival, LACMA, DIAGE, Circle of Light, among others. 404’s works were selected by the Japan Media Arts Festival and awarded by the Genius Loci Weimar Festival, IMAP festival. Their debut music album, 404.0, was released on the Icelandic music label Bedroom Community in 2020.
