Aske Zidore is a Danish artist, composer, and game designer. In his interdisciplinary practice, he uses modern notions of nature as a canvas for storytelling and critique. Zidore brings these complexities close to daily life by creating simplified and playful realms, through sound, image and game logic inspired composing, to examine the representations and symbols that shape a shared reality.

Game mechanics are central to Zidore’s practice, utilised as a way to map fragments of feelings and memories that transcend normalized boundaries of space, body and time. His creations span over works for choir and instruments, as well as installations, games, prints, and 3D animations, all unfolding within non-linear structures guided by intelligent systems and rulebooks.
