Mario Carrillo writes code the way other artists hold a brush. Born in 1991 in Sinaloa, Mexico, he uses computation as a form of pure expression, building moving images that investigate how we perceive the world: through geometry, organic form, colour and rhythm, all in perpetual motion.
His work has found its way onto iconic landmarks across America, Europe and Asia, and into collaborations with some of the most interesting names in contemporary art and design, among them Max Cooper and Stefan Sagmeister. His large-scale visual installations have been shown at institutions that need no introduction: the Barbican Centre in London, the Salzburg Easter Festival, and DOK Leipzig.
At Kinomural he’s showing Cardano Circles, created in collaboration with Max Cooper.
Cardano Circles features breathtakingly beautiful and precisely synchronised circles performing linear movements: sensual highs, but based on science. Electronica producer Max Cooper and visual artist Mario Carrillo worked together in a euphoric and driving collaboration rooted in a geometrical principle described by Gerolamo Cardano in 1570.
