Calin Segal is an innovative computational designer specializing in generative systems. He is a trailblazer in computational design, intertwining generative art and art and design, reshaping traditional paradigms. He studied at Paris' Ecole Speciale Architecture, specializing in digital and robotic manufacturing, but was later drawn to the world of generative art. Calin co-founded the In-Dialog research studio, a platform exploring the fascinating intersection of art and technology.
Calin’s portfolio encapsulates digital artistry, craftsmanship, coding, and procedural modeling. His generative art pieces, driven by mathematical models and algorithms, are dynamic compositions representing a fusion of control and unpredictability. His work, driven by a desire to discover innovative ways of representing the world, often involves breaking down real-world phenomena into algorithms. This abstract interpretation allows a unique insight into the world around us.
Despite his early career, Calin has made significant strides. His first commission was the interactive pavilion, "Digital Mental Transposition," showcased at Nuit Blanche Paris 2018, displayed in the Park de la Villette. He also co-created "Path to Heaven" during a residency at the Enric Miralles Foundation in Barcelona in 2020. He co-produced the immersive VR experience "Planet LEV," which enchanted audiences at Madrid's LEV - Matadero festival in 2021.
Recent accolades include a two-month residency at V2 in Rotterdam through the extended realities - RIT initiative and winning the S+T+Arts residency program by the VOXJET consortium in 2023. Calin Segal's career is a testament to his commitment to innovation, positioning him at the vanguard of art and technology.
