Notre démarche

I'm using art to represent randomness found in nature. By repeating a simple element while applying a stochastic force to this element, it is inevitably different from any other element in the same piece; different in form, color, position, etc. So each object is completely unique, like a particular tree in nature is never a twin to another tree. To see the uniqueness of objects in a piece, you have to observe with attention each element: sometimes it is pretty easy to see the differences, sometimes it takes more work.

This gallery presents then creations built on a constant modus operandi: randomness. All the elements are random: colors, forms… These vector images can be created with infinite details, i.e., the number of patterns can be (almost) unlimited, and at any size (from 1x1 feet to 100x100 feet!). These creations are made in Metafun, an extension of the Metapost language.

What I'm doing is in fact generative art.

​​​​​​​“Generative art refers to any art practice where the artist creates a process, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other procedural invention, which is then set into motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a completed work of art..”
