The Travels of Bad

Zander Blom was born in Pretoria in 1982 and currently lives in Johannesburg. Working as an artist since 2002, Zander’s physical output includes painting, drawing, printmaking, installation and photography. I’ ve been impressed by his irruent and irregular geometry, always balanced.

I’ ve really appreciate his disorder in order! ;-)

Artist’s statement

The Travels of bad is essentially a satire that looks critically at the influence that exotic cultures and their artefacts have had on the avant-garde system of European visual art from the end of the 19th century onwards.

The critique comes in the shape of mini-novella that is illustrated by a series of photographic works and accompanied by a pseudo rock-opera type symphonic drone thrash metal rock album.

All the rest!

Random Walk - The Visualization of Randomness

WHAT DOES RANDOMNESS LOOK LIKE?
Random Walk asks this question and presents experiments in mathematics and physics, showing the mysterious interaction of chaos and order in randomness.
The project Random Walk simulates randomness in visualizations, which are easy to understand. In this way, it delivers insight into a phenomenon, which has so far remained unexplained.

MWM "Thus Far" OFFF Slideshow.

A lot of folks have been reaching out and asking if a video of my lecture at OFFF is online anywhere. It was filmed, but I am not sure if it is up yet, or if it will ever be. Instead of waiting, I've decided to share the slides from the lecture at my Flickr page. Honestly, I think it is better to let the art do the talking. Just imagine me nervously trying to explain what, when, how, and why I created this stuff. The presentation is chronological, starting with graffiti and murals, then canvas painting, then learning design software and using it for art, and then on to my annual analog B/W Series. The overarching theme is "Range Is Conducive To Growth." Enjoy :) MWM Thus Far Slideshow.
