Short Bio
Peter Beyls is a Belgian born interdisciplinary artist/scientist. He explores computer programming as aesthetic statement and develops generative systems in music, the visual arts and hybrid formats. He studied at the Royal Music Conservatory Brussels, EMS Stockholm, Ghent University and the Slade School of Art, University College London.
