Xylor Jane and Matt Keegan, collaborative installation for LTTR Explosion at Art in General NY NY
 
  Statement
(from Brooklyn Fire Proof)

Xylor Jane's work draws on mathematical algorithms to make intricate and staggering installations. Deriving her patterns from often basic arthimetic exercises (such as the Fibonacci Series or prime numbers), she deals in both complexity and simplicity, finding hidden curiosities and subtle patterns amidst swarms of numbers. Her rigourous execution highlights the personal touch and commitment she brings to each piece.
