Laurent Houdard makes generative, code-based artworks in JavaScript and WebGL that explore cycles of decay and renewal, and the tension between order and entropy. His work has included Microsillon, sound-modulated grooves inspired by microscope images of vinyl records, and Pond, a piece that changes with the seasons.
In 2022 Houdard contributed BRIDGE #301 Bridge-Tunnel to Camille Roux's collaborative series BRIDGE on fxhash, working within a base code framework that Roux provided and that let each contributing artist apply their own style. He built fxsnapshot, an open-source tool other generative artists have used to generate and test multiple output variations of their own projects. In a 2023 interview he discussed the creative process behind Universal Rayhatcher #58.
