"My imagination comes to life in the most powerful and limitless space an artist can work today - the digital." 

Luca Darlington, a Welsh interdisciplinary computational artist working with code, various image-making softwares, and digital print. 

His practice concerns the relationship between technological innovation and late-capitalist spectacle, he categorises his practice as a form of ‘Hyperpop Art’. Hyperpop Art is characterised by exaggerated, vibrant aesthetics, employed as a critique of consumer culture.

Darlington uses a method of growing and presenting simulations of digital organisms through coding. The method mimics organic cell mitosis and the natural formation and growth of coral and snowflakes. He calls the digital organisms ‘script-ures’: combining “script”, referencing how code is written, and “creatures”.
