| summary |
Painterly Expansion: Fields & Flows is a series of intricate topological sculptures crafted through a collaborative design process between an artist and algorithms. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence and multi-agent algorithms utilized in digital design optimization and automation, this research investigates the role of the artist in generative form-making. Painterly Expansion explores the emergent beauty that occurs from the tension between the handcraft of sculpture and algorithmic design processes. This series of work builds upon coded representations of natural systems that form the intricacies of our coral reefs. The algorithm is designed to capture flow and directionality present in aquatic flora and geological formations as seen in Figure 1. The design process operates in real-time where the artist guides, reshapes, and details the sculptures as they take shape. By demonstrating the symbiosis between the artificial and the artist, the sculptures encourage audiences to embrace new ways of thinking and envision a future where technology and human creativity work together. |
