Noodler is a South African-born artist currently based in Melbourne, Australia. His background blends design, user experience, photography, and a deep engagement with decentralized technology. After graduating with a diploma in graphic design, Noodler spent several years working as a designer, an experience that ultimately led him to explore the evolving landscape of decentralized technologies and their cultural impact.The cultural landscapes of South Africa and Australia are key influences in Noodler's artistic practice, which explores the relationship between humanity and nature's dominance. The Rückenfigur, a lone figure seen from behind, is a recurring motif, emphasizing the individual's smallness within vast landscapes. Noodler uses instinctive marks and patterns to create textured surfaces, incorporating elements of animation to imbue the work with movement and reinforce the idea of nature's dominance. Celebrating the beauty of the pixel, Noodler embraces a low-fidelity aesthetic to capture the tension between humans and the natural world.
