Leo Villareal: Cosmic Bloom

Intricate digital artwork with blue lights, projected on the wall of the Royal Festival Hall
Leo Villareal

Intricate patterns meet hypnotic motion in the ever-changing Cosmic Bloom

Leo Villareal’s installation sees 1,300 intricate digital artworks projected on the wall of the Royal Festival Hall.

Inspired by organic and biological structures, stellar phenomena, and atomic patterns, Cosmic Bloom is the second collection of NFT artworks in the Villareal’s Cosmologies series.

Drawing on his long standing practice of using code to generate complex visual sequences in his light sculptures, they feature intricate geometric forms that are layered and multiplied, creating captivating patterns set in constant, non-repeating motion. 

The collection was released in December 2022 on Outland, the first editorial platform dedicated to fostering critical conversations around emerging digital technologies and their connections to contemporary art.

The projection of Cosmic Bloom onto our Royal Festival Hall is accompanied, every 15 minutes, by. this rotating playlist of six tracks by electronic music artist Kode9.
