Digital and Generative Art

Generative image processing

In a 300x300 pixel digital image in RGB color space, there are approximately 7.059 x 10649765 possible images to be created. Despite the refrain that new imagery is impossible, this series of work explores the potential of digital imagery for novel compositional and formal creations. Through generative processing of thousands of historical paintings from wikiart.org, these images represent attempts to engage with art history through contemporary digital techniques. These works are generated using Python image processing libraries such as scikit-image and Pillow.

Digital collages

These collages, created with Adobe Illustrator, take elements from a range of media including historical paintings, photographs, text, and maps.

Text renderings

This series recreates imagery such as 35mm photography, drawings, paintings, and historical artworks using Python and text-based outputs in Terminal.

Code sketches

These images are created by using p5.js to consider how paintings and drawings on paper can be decontextualized and reimagined in the digital realm. I try to use these digital sketches to attempt seemingly basic or simple visual ideas that may lead to larger projects.
