Jenna Kim (Jeeyoon Kim)- Looking Outwards-6

Manolo Gamboa Naon’s project, “PPPP”, is a generative, random digital art had been developed over a long time. Its vibrant colors and interesting geometric forms blend in beautifully. . His project is very admirable because through this project, he shows that making errors is essential to generative artists and errors are “beautiful”. He shows that as he develops more series to this project, he demonstrates growth of his style through series of errors. It is definitely fascinating to see how he develops so many styles and combination of color from one idea. The algorithms and the randomness in the work are generated from Processing, a programming tool that he learned when he started studying design. Although this simple random art seems to be simple with its geometric forms, he manifested his artistic ability in the color palette and the pattern. Although the colors are so bold and striking, the different colors interact well with each other. Also, we can see inspiration from artists and designers such as Ben Fry, Joshua David, Ivan Ivanoff, and many more.
