Tyler Boswell

Tyler Boswell is a generative artist and web developer based in Las Vegas, Nevada. He holds a Bachelor of Science in computer science from Drexel University in Philadelphia. Publishing under the name @teaboswell, his work has been presented in contexts that include an exhibition with Tezos at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2022. He creates his art using code, drawing directly on his technical background to inform his creative practice. His work is collected on platforms such as fx(hash) and has been included in exhibitions on Feral File.

Boswell’s primary medium is code. He employs programming languages, including JavaScript and the p5.js library, to build generative systems. These systems are designed to produce abstract compositions by layering simple geometric shapes and fields of colour. The artist's notes for works like `Reunion` reveal the logic of these systems, where a collector's digital address can serve as a unique seed for the algorithm. He provides viewers with specific controls to alter parameters such as scale, grain, distortion and chromatic aberration. This interaction demonstrates that each work is a live computational process rather than a fixed image.

The visual output of Boswell’s code explores a balance between geometric precision and organic feeling. His stated interest in the mathematics found in nature is reflected in series titles like `Wildflower & Patchwork`, which suggest a systematic approach to depicting natural phenomena. The compositions are often dense with overlapping, translucent forms that generate a sense of depth and complexity. By making the underlying parameters of his systems visible and sometimes interactive, Boswell invites a considered engagement with the relationship between an established set of rules and the unpredictable visual outcomes they can produce.
