Mike Tyka studied Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Bristol and went on to work as a research fellow at the University of Washington, studying the structure and dynamics of protein molecules. In 2009, Mike and a team of artists created Groovik’s Cube, a 35 feet tall, functional, multi-player Rubik’s cube sculpture. Since then, he has been creating metal and glass sculptures of various biomolecules, such as protein molecules and DNA. More recently, Mike’s work has explored the creative possibilities and implications of artificial neural networks, using Deep Dream and other generative machine learning algorithms to create static and kinetic art.
