Benjamin Lappalainen

Benjamin Lappalainen (he/him) is a Toronto-based emerging multidisciplinary artist and creative technologist, producing audio-reactive visuals for performances, perceptive interactive installations, and algorithmic drawings created using a pen plotter.

Much of his artistic process is centred around architecting and programming generative and perceptive systems to create and interpret visuals and sound. His work has been showcased at group and solo exhibitions as well as live performances at InterAccess Gallery, Northern Contemporary Gallery, Long Winter Music & Arts Festival, UKAI Projects, and on the p5.js website. The current focus of his artistic research is on the sustainable usage and repurposing of new and old technologies to enable novel modes of interaction between artwork and viewer, and artwork and environment.
