Performing at Plums Festival, Moscow, 2012
Paul Prudence is an artist and audio-visual performer working with generative video environments and abstract sound. His work, which has been shown and performed internationally, focuses on the ways in which sound, space and form can be cross-wired to create live-cinematic visual-music experiences. He also maintains the weblog Dataisnature exploring the historical and contemporary interrelationships between natural processes, computational systems and procedural-based art practices
