Markos R. Kay (né Christodoulou) is a multidisciplinary artist and director with a focus in art & science and generative art. He is best known for the artificial-life video art experiment aDiatomea (2008), first exhibited at Ernst Haeckel's Phyletic Museum, the generative short film The Flow (2011), shown worldwide, and the series of particle simulation paintings Quantum Fluctuations (2016), now part of the Fidelity Art Collection. His art and design practice ranges from screen-based media to print and has been featured in museums, exhibitions, festivals, and publications such as the ArtScience Museum, Museum of Contemporary Digital Art, Bill and Melinda Gaates Foundation, Ars Electronica, National Geographic, Wired and VICE.
His work can be described as an ongoing exploration of digital abstraction through experimentation with generative methods. His experiments often explore the complexity of the invisible and mysterious worlds of molecular biology and particle physics. A major theme in his work is the computational paradigm of the natural sciences as seen in the relationship between scientific observation, simulation and visualisation. He has worked with various scientific, government and art organizations including: MIT, Belfast City, European Parliament, Howard Hughes Medical institute, Simons Foundation, National Hemophilia Foundation, and Playgrounds Design Festival. He has also worked with commercial clients such as: Apple, Fox, Disney, Nike, Adidas, Maserati, Ford, MTV, Nvidia, BBC, Vimeo, Warner Bros and Channel 4.
