Random variable — generative interactive installation and giclee prints
My role
Art
Tools
p5.js
Task
To reflect on the relationship between reflexivity and contingency by creating a generative algorithm producing pleasing abstract works and exhibit it.
Result
Solo exhibiton at Prosvet Coffee in Moscow from January to April 2022. 2/9 pieces sold.
About
The project uses generative algorithm written in p5.js that defines color palettes, shapes and direction of their movement for each time the program runs. An installation lets visitors create their own artworks like these.
Process
Coding
I decided to teach myself to code and iterated a lot until got something interesting
Printing
After generating 100s of images, I selected 9, printed and framed them
Exhibition
With the venue owner, we mounted the pieces and the installation
Prototype
The image generation follows user's gesture (or mouse). You can try it yourself!
Artworks
I also designed a custom cup for the time of exhibition
