Austin Treu – Looking Outwards 06

Jonathan McCabe’s work is very interesting as he utilizes Alan Turing’s research to create pieces of art from very minuscule levels such as pixels. In these projects, he starts with very small random variations in certain variables of the pixels. Once the project is generated it is filled with a wide variety of different features. His work helps to show that such randomness inherently imitates nature on every scale, particularly on a cellular level. The random projects tend to create shapes and colors that combine to form something reminiscent of nature. This is something that makes the uniqueness of nature seem even more fascinating, as it is all just as random as it may seem from the smallest level up, just like these projects.
