Alida Sun is an artist and technologist based in Berlin and New York. Her practice and research integrate presence, resistance, and adaptation in the age of algorithms.

Every day for over 2,000 days and counting she has hand coded a new generative artwork spanning installation, sound, architecture, choreography, drawing, textiles, and light.

Her works have been exhibited in museums and galleries including UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, bitforms, Unit London, as well as media art festivals around the world.

For ’RITES’ Alida’s hand coded digital artworks have been articulated as hand embroidered tapestries by the women at SSMI [Swami Sivananda Memorial Institute].

SSMI is passionate about improving the quality of life of under privileged women, youth and children in Delhi and beyond, enabling and empowering them to realise their potential. We are embedded in our local community, working together with the people we serve to develop their skills, undertake research and promotion, and provide services in education, health, nutrition, textiles and livelihood.
