James Proctor is a software artist and data visualization designer. In his art practice, he writes and iterates on rules in code that guide the growth of each piece. The resulting images reflect the visual legacy of their predecessors, as well as the ordered patterns of the process that creates them. Professionally, James works as a data visualization designer creating pieces that help others interact with and interpret information. His work has been featured in Vice's The Creators Project, The Vassar Review and at group shows at the Currents New Media Festival, Human NYC, Index Gallery, the Electronic Literature Organization and the New Wilmington Art Association. He has collaborated on pieces, which were displayed at Eyebeam and The Standard High Line. Select digital editions of his artwork are available through the online gallery The File Arts.
