Pxlshrd is a generative artist who translates ideas drawn from music and sound into code-based digital images. A former sound engineer, he learned to code with the launch of the platform fx(hash), where he has since released a large body of long-form generative work.
Pxlshrd worked as a live sound engineer, alongside photography and graphic design, before the COVID-19 pandemic prompted him to step back from the 16-hour days of touring sound work. He discovered fx(hash) shortly after it launched, through a tweet by the artist ciphrd, and began coding specifically to publish work there. He had previously released 3D work made in Blender on Tezos under another alias, headphaser, which drew little interest, and the name pxlshrd began as a side project for animated gifs.
