LO: On Looking Outwards

While I was browsing through the different Looking Outwards, this project by Manolo Gamboa Naon stood out to me. It is a generative digital art, but when I first looked at it, it screamed 3D to me. Despite it being digital, I kept on thinking of how they could bring to life in the real world, Such as using see-through fabric (like chiffon) to mimic the translucent outer circles and maybe even cardboard with the center circles to create a sense of depth and height. It is so interesting to me to envision this in reality and make it into something that is touchable. There are so many textures to explore. I agree with laurel in how the simpleness in the randomness makes the work complex. The explosion of color and circles is really mesmerizing and beautiful.
