Who is Byrke Lou?
PHYSICS
Computers shape our future, so I wanted to understand how they work. I was also curious about the processes behind scientific research. In physics, I specialized in complex systems, particularly artificial intelligence, as the mathematical models that govern systems in biology, economics, and physics are often the same.
PHYSICS & ART
I explore the mechanisms behind the construction and dissemination of knowledge. My work incorporates materials like glass and aluminum—materials essential in scientific research for driving innovation, while also rooted in traditional fine art practices. Additionally, I leverage cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence to examine the evolving landscape of digital media.
