The programs the computer utilized to cut the sculptures for Quayola’s Laocoön Series were custom-designed by Quayola himself. done by Quayola is a really clever piece of generative art in my opinion – the way he took Laocoön and his sons and interpreted their images through computational algorithms designed to re-iterate the uncompleted works in a surreal and clearly computer-graphics influenced polygonal form begins to create a bizarre hybrid between the traditional/classical forms of art and computers through utilizing monuments and icons in western art culture. The precision of the computer and way it generates lines throughout the sculptures and filters them creates a bizarre narrative with the classical sculpture itself.
