Four artists, four singular approaches. Code meets Matter, where each iteration can become an exceptional work.
Alexis André's algorithms oscillate between hypnotic softness and sharp breaks. Each image is the result of a series of successive cuts, like movements that fit together and influence each other. From these tensions emerge overlapping forms, laser-cut to become volumes anchored in matter.
Julien Espagnon designs his algorithms as scores for plotting machines or robotic arms. After setting the parameters, he steps back, allowing randomness to produce the drawing or painting. His abstraction sometimes dialogues with Orphism, sometimes with gestural expressionism, opening a space where mechanics becomes gestural.
William Mapan explores what he calls "meta-painting": understanding, translating, and amplifying his pictorial touch through code. His algorithms paint in his style, exploring hundreds of variations that a single gesture could generate. Each work is a possible extension of his graphic universe, between sketchbook and digital art.
Inspired by impressionism and nature, Florian Zumbrunn codes landscapes that evoke fading memories. Trees, always present, structure his compositions and connect the generated image to the natural image. Printed on paper, his works are then enhanced with pastel or oil, extending the dialogue between algorithm and hand.
