๐๐ถ๐ฃ๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ต ๐๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด๐ช๐ด is a series of paintings created with a robotic pen plotter. The robot follows instructions produced by a generative algorithm that creates a unique output each time it runs. Multiple sine wave oscillation functions, each with differing periods and amplitudes, combine to alter the size and orientation of hundreds of polygons to create a layered organic form.
While working on this series, I thought about all of the hidden topologies that shape our lives; trying to put form to the formless. The curvature of a friendship, the boundaries of desire, the distance between aspirations.

The generative algorithm I designed for this series produces curving forms of various complexity. Each form is made up of hundreds of thin lines. When layered atop each other, they produce moirรฉ interference patterns: complex shades and textures, the emergent properties of shape and color, paint and paper.
When the program is initialized, the properties of each waveform - frequency, amplitude, and phase shift - are randomly selected, resulting in a unique structure each time the program is run. These sixteen paintings are a representative sample of the programโs output and a physical manifestation of the algorithms that power it.

These four paintings are currently available at The Compound Gallery in Emeryville, CA. Each were created with a robotic pen plotter that follows instructions produced by generative algorithms which I designed to mimic organic shapes and behaviors.
