I look for the immanence of the living into the code, especially in the {Compend-AI} series. The difficult part was to capture a human generative process that couldn’t be questioned. For a year I traveled capturing human gesture repetitions, in order to build my own precise database. It has been a long and exciting walk where the poster maker appears as evidence. I followed them a lot and I captured all remnants on the walls everywhere in the world, my DJ tour helped a lot here! It’s one of the most incredible human generative processes. First, it questions the culture we are constantly sold, close to Jacques Villegle or Raymond Heins works. Second, the remnants on the walls are the perfect results of the equation. The perfect iterations of our Biological Generative life. Once I've built the most personal dataset, the second part was to look for patterns or similarities with the Living. My friend Johan Lescure has then been essential here. We tricked the algorithms to reveal what the eye couldn't see inside those data materials. Insanely, we are revealing forms and patterns really close to the living.

Art by Kim Asendorf

Unit is a series of four real time animations with an identical core algorithm but variations in color and direction of movement. The ruleset for the animation has been implemented in a deterministic fragment shader with a feedback framebuffer. The shader is delegated by data from three virtually generated textures. Texture one and two are created once on initialization by the same algorithm to add structural and color data in two different versions. The third texture prompts usage instructions on how to use the informations stored in texture one and two, and how to apply and combine the eight animation algorithms.

CHANCE

The world is definitely chaotic at first glance. Throwing a die, trading stocks or cryptocurrencies, or simply walking through a crowded city center can have unpredictable outcomes. Computers are different. Algorithms are deterministic by design. Given the same input, they always produce the same result. In reverse, it’s impossible for a computer to produce a string that is truly unpredictable. What is usually an advantage becomes a problem in cryptography. To provide truly random numbers for encryption, Silicon Graphics filed a patent in 1996 for Lavarand. By taking photos of a bunch of physical lava lamps, they generated the random numbers needed for privacy and security in the computer age. While the original patent expired, the most important internet infrastructure provider, Cloudflare, built their own lava lamp wall in their San Francisco headquarters. They are used to provide SSL/TLS encryption to their customers. CHAOS turns the Lavarand concept on its head. It generates a simulated lava lamp from the unique seed that is stored in each generative NFT. The ThreeJS simulation runs in the browser. Unlike the physical lava lamps, their movements are determined because they follow mathematical calculations that always produce the same movements and shapes. Under which conditions could the simulation become as complex as the physical lamps? *according to Forbes “How Cloudflare Became The Most Important Internet Company Nobody Has Heard Of” (Dec 4, 2020)

The parallel lives of winter

NFT: Limited Edition

Twitter // Instagram

Art by Ivona Tau

This work studies different metamorphosis directions of the same starting point in the latent space of a trained GAN model. From the infinite set of direction vectors, six parallel timelines are displayed, all of them exploring a different range of possibilities. The subject of the study is a seemingly organic ambiguous structure that has emerged like a weed during training of the GAN model on a set of film photographs representing humans and man-made structures. Through the peripheral exploration of the outlier we can observe the properties of the latent space, outside of its figurative meaning. It is a metaphor for the alter- native paths not lived.

Art by Orla Berlin

Inspired by the landscape of my youth, when I painted whenever it rained. Sometimes things are as simple as they seem. Today I dream of days, stones thrown into waves. There it feels like the edge of the world, picturesque and mythical. It speaks in its own way, like the siren song of past lives.

Is this where I’m from? Who was I then? Who am I now? Shaping my journey, leaving footprints to pass on to whatever follows. Old echoes of wonder. I don’t learn, I remember.

Art by Zancan

Ignis et Sanguis

Fire and blood may not be what comes to mind when observing nature. Yet it is here, looking closer, a battlefield. Thirsty, parched, bruised. Be it chlorophyll or hemoglobin, the living proudly proceeds from resilience, whilst offering, at the last breath, the impertinence of its beauty.

"Ignis and Sanguis" is part of the "Lushtemples" series which attempts to capture the graphic complexity of nature using mathematical formulas and programming code exclusively. These algorithms, which offer a more figurative approach to generative art, work on the tensions between order and chaos, figuration and abstraction, decoration and symbolism, in a context where human civilizations are faced with the challenge of their impact on the living world.

Redols

NFT: fxhash collection

Twitter

Art by Anna Carreras

""Redols"" is a piece about the automated arrangement of shapes in space that visually creates moods and spatial compositions. It explores the repetitive use of a simple geometric shape: the circle. The project investigates several ways to draw it and overlap it to create new shapes.

An investigation of how deterministic processes and algorithms can create appealing arrangements that foster imagination, memories, and feelings.

The long-form generative algorithm pushes the medium to create unique pieces, inherent and specific to it. It visually investigates how to adjust the amount of randomness and repetition and copy to create interesting compositions that contain the mere essence geometry and of movement.

""Redols"" is my genesis piece at fx-hash.

Non Berlin

NFT: Limited Edition

Twitter // Instagram

Art by Ismahelio

Non Berlin never existed in real life. It emerges as an architectural machine stacking bodies in a pseudo-chaotic way, out of scale and out of context. Picturing some of Berlin´s most iconic buildings. An essential part of its soul.

This is an invitation to re-imagine our cities. What is it that gives them essence? Is it its architecture as a whole? Its most characteristic buildings? Its inhabitants? Its traditions? Its cuisine? Its surrounding nature?

Dedicated to L / L gewidmet In anticipation of profound events, too big to grasp, we humans intuitively understand the energy inherent to transition. Will we in retrospect remember what we felt in this state of restless quiescence? Will we continue to recognize the beauty we found in the conversation between the current and the emerging?

In Erwartung großer Ereignisse, zu groß sie zu fassen, erfahren wir Menschen die Energie, die dem Übergang innewohnt. Werden wir uns in der Retrospektive daran erinnern, was wir in diesem Zustand ruheloser Schwebe fühlten? Werden wir uns weiterhin der Schönheit bewusst sein, die wir in der Berührung des Seienden und des Werdenden erkannten?

“Take Wing”

NFT: fxhash collection

Twitter // Instagram

Art by Melissa Wederrecht

“Take Wing” is a generative art collection depicting the hope, optimism, and thrilling excitement of a person taking off, gaining traction, and soaring to new heights and off into the great unknown. The algorithm behind the piece stems from an attempt to go back to art fundamentals and codify compo- sition rules and painterly techniques into a generative form - taking into account focal points, contrast, eye movement, and color theory while still giving the algorithm freedom to explore random color palettes, random flow field movement, random brush strokes, and many other degrees of freedom. The collection is made in pure code with p5.js and a few GLSL fragment shaders.

Art by Leander Herzog

A recursive subdivision based on the work ""returns"", with specific proportions inspired by Imi Knoebel. Small details emerge from the minimalist geometry at bigger sizes and higher resolution. Colors change over time to shift tensions between volumes and open new tones between the two color palettes. The realtime animation works only in browsers, but the initial composition can be exported as resolution independent and scalable vector graphic for print.

Disclaimer: this work will be sold in the form of an fxhash collection, it is purely a potential output. As the nature of the work is a generative long form work, this preview may just be a potential output of the work.

“a point of no return”

NFT: Limited Edition

Twitter // Instagram

Art by Martina Menegon

An irreversible action, a point beyond control, impossible to stop, unavoidable, unpredictable. In “a point of no return”, a group of glitched digital selfies of the artist is forced, by algorithmic constraints, to continuously and helplessly be together and follow a point in space. Forming a tormentous cloud - whose size is randomly determined at every load - the avatars follow the user’s cursor movements and react at any mouse click as the gravity of the virtual environment would randomly change. “a point of no return” wants to bring attention to the idea of care for our digital selves within virtual spaces. As the avatars are extremely sensitive to the user’s gestures and cursor’s movement speed, their very perceivable struggle can be almost interrupted if the user is willing to act carefully and delicately.

A temporary and not interactive iteration of “a point of no return” as Augmented Reality sculpture was commissioned by Boris Kostadinov (Scope BLN) for the project Kleiner Gottesgarten, part of the festival ORTSTERMIN in August 2022

log[-1], log[0] & log[1]

NFT: Limited Edition

Art by Rudxane Art by Rudxane Art by Rudxane

log is a dynamic token that generates a new output on a daily frequency forever. The series is created from three seperate tokens ('log[-1]', 'log[0]', 'log[1]') that can be combined to form either a diptych or triptych. The token uses the current system date of the viewer as seed for the generative output. Each of the tokens show only 1/3th of the artwork generated based on that seed. The piece is an ode/visualisation of the endlessness of randomness, showing this in a stylistic way that is known to us; such as the fastness and endlessness of space.
