Aria End

Peter Burr specializes in animation and installation, creating cutting edge immersive environments that hover between abstraction and figuration.

Artist Bio

Aria End employs the concept of an endlessly mutating labyrinth to create a constellation of cinematic artworks using styles and conventions common to video games. By recalling the way we interact with online media—clicking, zooming and scrolling—these works become a circuit board for lost, anxious feelings that give voice to commonly marginalized views. Perspective dances between first-person and aerial, claustrophobic tunnels transformed to dazzling patterns. The end result will be an experimental game about alienated feminine bodies and feral architecture.

Peter Burr

Brooklyn, NY

Peter Burr specializes in animation and installation, creating cutting edge immersive environments that hover between abstraction and figuration. In recent years, Burr has trained his expertise on exploring the concept of an endlessly mutating labyrinth, combining tools of the video game industry to make large-scale cinematic artworks. Indicative of this effort are works like his Dirtscraper, a room-sized computer simulation. Previously, he worked under the alias Hooliganship and in 2006 founded the video label Cartune Xprez, through which he produced live multimedia exhibitions showcasing artists working in experimental animation.
