with Sofia Porto Bauchwitz
Monica Rizzolli is an artist-programmer from Brazil who has been fascinated with parametrically connecting programming with the natural world. She aims to create generative rules that mimic the growth and evolution of organisms and landscapes, an approach that she calls digital morphogenesis. Rizzolli attended IA-UNESP in São Paulo, Brazil, and the Kunsthochschule Kassel, Germany. Rizzolli has exhibited her work globally, including in the US, Brazil, Germany, China and Spain. She has also received several awards and scholarships, including the MAK Schindler Scholarship and the Sweet Home residency by Hablar En Arte, Madrid. Rizzolli also organizes projects celebrating and spreading code art, such as Noite de Processing and Processing Community Day Brasil.
