The two painted panels are scanned and brought into the computer. The same 90 particles fall and collide with the bright brushstrokes of each painting, creating the two variations. The particle trails are laser etched on the original painting.

The painted with acrylics wood panel came first, which was then scanned and brought into houdini. The painting’s shape was used as an initial state for the differential Line Growth procedure. On each iteration the points are relaxed by distancing themselves from their neighbors. The whole line is also re-sampled on each iteration to continuously increase its definition. One of the frames from the process was exported as a vector file and burnt with a laser cutter on the 15x15cm wood panel. The total length of the line is approximately 12 meters.

square 02

The painted with acrylics wood panel came first, which was then scanned and brought into houdini. Circles were scattered on the painted surface around on the brightest area. On an iterative process, the painting’s intensity determined by how much each individual point would be pushed towards it’s normal vector and allow the shapes to flow within the painting.

A series of 14 silkscreen prints with unique hand drawn patterns on the characters’ heads. It is a visualization of the incomprehensible, technocratic language the political and economic spokesmen use to enforce austerity measures to the masses during the Crisis. A language full of technical terms and abstract economic meanings, acts as a barrier to the actual information and the intentions of the men in control. In order to reach to the conclusion, one is required to either have specialized knowledge or invest time to research the topic.

In a similar way, this work is a riddle where the viewer is challenged to decrypt the series of prints to gain access to the information. Reading top downwards the heads of each character, dashed lines correspond to 0 and continuous lines to 1. Each 8 line pattern is an actual byte that matches an alphanumeric character of the ASCII table. The collection of these 14 characters form a URL which redirects to an official source of the actual information.

This series was part of monomorphia art exhibition. Some photos from the printing process.
