Biography
Dr Mohamed Louanjli is a Moroccan-Australian interdisciplinary artist, poet, designer and educator based in Helsinki. Born in Casablanca and raised between Morocco and France, he later moved to Australia, where he completed a practice-led PhD in Fine Art at Queensland College of Art and Design, Griffith University. He also holds degrees from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His practice moves between generative code, photography, print, sound, language and algorithmic systems, drawing from traditions of image-making while examining the aesthetics of computation, dysfunction and conflict. Through algorithmic drawing, field recording, audiovisual performance, experimental typography and generative processes, his work considers how technology conditions perception, and how war, speed, artificial intelligence and public communication shape the contemporary human condition.
His formation includes experimental aesthetics and image analysis at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, sound art, acoustics and field recording at ENSBA Paris, a Max/MSP graduation project, attendance at IRCAM’s Ateliers du Forum, and later microtonal research in Helsinki. His work has been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions and is held in public and private collections. He is the recipient of several awards, including the Australian Postgraduate Award, the Gerald Frank Brown Scholarship, the Maurice Colin-Lefranc Prize and the Ouvrez l’Art contest. He currently lives and works in Helsinki.
