Matt DesLauriers is a Canadian generative artist residing in the UK. His creative practice is deeply rooted in code, software, and generative processes, and seeks to unravel the complexities of randomness and emergence through visually captivating and interactive systems.

A notable project in DesLauriers’ oeuvre is Meridian, a series of generative art pieces that encapsulates his fascination with stratified landforms, represented through multitudes of color strokes. Each piece in the collection is defined by a unique coordinate within a multidimensional generative space.

His work has been featured in venues such as Kunsthalle Zürich in Switzerland, MoCA Taipei in Taiwan, and at Art Basel events in Miami and Hong Kong.

In 2021, he partnered with the National Film Board of Canada to produce Wayfinder, an awarded game on art and poetry. Showing commitment to community and innovation, DesLauriers is an active contributor to open-source software by developing tools and libraries that enhance creative coding and generative art workflows.
