Aaron Alden is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist and creative director who has been working at the experimental edge of emerging media for over three decades.
His work explores the dynamic interplay between art, technology, and human experience—creating "resonant pixels and waves" though synesthetic interaction, generative, aleatory seeds and cascading data streams. He is currently working on several projects that harness real-world data to create entirely new forms of art: using weather data as a paintbrush; personal workout data to generate evolving artworks; and cybersecurity-attack data to compose music.
Originally an abstract painter, Aaron blends traditional artistic techniques with next-generation creative technology, including photogrammetry, coding, custom software, and microprocessors, to craft interactive light art installations, videos, and printed works.
Beyond his artistic practice, Aaron has decades of experience as a creative director in design and advertising. He has launched multiple industry-leading multimedia studios, served as a creative technology consultant, and collaborated with some of the world’s largest brands, agencies, and entertainment companies. His award-winning work spans art installations, immersive experiences, music videos, podcasts, Super Bowl commercials, obscure films, and everything inbetween. As a composer, he has produced four albums and created original scores for films and car commercials.
Last year, Aaron’s work has been exhibited at The Lincoln Center, The Walker Art Center, Art Basel (Miami) and numerous NYC art fairs and exhibitions.
