Title of work: Random waLK & particles, vehicles system
Year of Creation: Unknown
This series of artwork uses randomness to create captivating variations of protrusions that resemble squid tentacles. I love the motion depicted in these pieces and the water-like and fluid quality that they have. The computation relies on wavy lines that extrude from a center-horizontal line of the canvas made up of random strings of yellow and blue as well as a circle spread across the canvas. I highly doubt that these works are generated in a “truly” random sense since it is much more likely that a sequence with certain bounds is used to generate these variations. I believe it is so as a result of the loose observable pattern or similar quality from one piece to the other. The artist’s artistic sensibilities portray a very fun and playful essence.
