about

Nigel Fryatt dressed in a white checked shirt standing in front of blurred windows

Generative artist, creative technologist and independent Arts and Technology facilitator.

I use creative programming to create art, websites and live experiences. I also facilitate workshops covering the topics of ethics, future technologies, website development and AI.

I owe much of what I do to being surrounded by fine artists on an almost daily basis. A core part of my practice involves collaborating with them to bring their ideas to life using creative technology.

My own artworks find their roots in: the spectacle, environmental concern, ethics, nostalgic technologies and electronic music. From time to time I enjoy sneaking my work into fine art environments.

I am based in Bath, UK, and I work out of The Studio in Bath, where I am currently a resident.
