BIO

SCARLETMOTIFF (Noel Apitta b.1993) is an audio-visual artist from Kampala, Uganda.

A graduate of the Electrical Engineering programme at Makerere University Kampala, his work is anchored by background in creative coding, graphic design, stage and lighting design for live entertainment.

Through a practice centered on iteration, repetition, and spontaneous composition he seeks to convert the rich analog narratives of human experiences into digital expressions, blending real-time generative computer graphics and original soundscapes to create abstracted vignettes of directed emotion.

Since July 2020, this iterative approach has birthed over 1000 unique web-native video artworks as part of the daily audio-visual project GENERATIVE DREAMS; and seen his practice evolve to explore the materiality of light and its relationship to physical space as a medium for immersive journey-making.

From video sculpture and immersive projection mapping to interactive audio-visual installations, his work has been exhibited at the Noor Riyadh Light Art Festival (Riyadh, 2022), Afri Art Gallery (Kampala, 2022), the NEOSHIBUYA 15 Second Museum (Tokyo, 2021) , Afropocene StudioLab (Kampala, 2023) and the BuzzFest Tech Art Festival (Austin,TX, 2022).
