Ella Hoeppner is a generative artist working with particle systems, focusing on real-time and interactive pieces with vivid abstract textural imagery. She draws on biology, physics and mathematics, developing novel and experimental algorithms to find new directions for code-based generative art.
Based in Virginia, she first encountered fx(hash) through generative art Discord servers in late 2021, after years of treating generative art as a hobby rather than something she could turn into a career.,Finding other artists on the platform who, like her, had no connections in the art world gave her the confidence to start submitting her own work. She has said she “would never have gotten to where I am today if it hadn't been for uncurated platforms like fx(hash)”.
That October her series filum appeared in “Truth”, a Feral File group show curated by Adam Berninger alongside Tyler Boswell, Presstube x bzor, Charlotte Dann, David Seven, HAL09999 and Lisa Orth.,Adam Berninger asked the artists to explore the abstraction of scale to the point of ambiguity.Her contribution, a series of 128 pieces, used a force-directed graph layout in which networked particles move from their starting positions into a configuration shaped by mutual push and pull.,The series was written with custom software in ClojureScript and GLSL. It was minted on Ethereum through Feral File on 17 October 2023.Her work has also been shown at “Art Basel Miami”, “Bright Moments” in Berlin, and the “Non Fungible Conference” in Lisbon.
