Alyssa Nider

Canada

Alyssa Nider is a generative digital visual artist and creative technologist based in Edmonton, northern Canada. Trained in Arts and Digital Media, she is a self-taught artist in the realm of generative visuals, having developed her skills through hands-on experimentation and online resources. Her journey began with analog visuals using overhead projectors, acetate, and liquids—an early exploration that shaped her sensitivity to movement, layering, and light. Today, she uses creative coding and software such as Modul8, VDMX, MadMapper, Lumen, and TouchDesigner to generate interactive visuals that blend colour, motion, and emotion. Deeply inspired by the geometry found in nature and the harmony between people, sound, and image, her work explores how virtual space can carry meaning. Her aesthetic draws from vibrant psychedelic colour palettes reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s, creating a sensory experience that is both nostalgic and forward-looking.

As the founder of aoide.io, Alyssa has spent over a decade crafting motion-based, audio-reactive digital artworks across a wide variety of formats—ranging from live projections to UHD screens and online environments. Her installations and performances create immersive environments where colour, texture, and rhythm invite emotional and perceptual engagement. She has collaborated with international electronic artists and has presented her work at events and festivals including Beyond Borders (Los Angeles), Commune (London), Page Art Festival (Guangzhou), Get That Shot and QuatroBox (South Korea), Instinc D:Art Festival (Singapore), and Digital Art Fair Asia (Hong Kong). Her practice continues to evolve through constant iteration, pushing the boundaries of visual language and sensory connection.
