Reflection
Throughout my artistic journey, I have learned about the many rules of composition and other elements when it comes to creating an artwork, especially in certain genres. However, more and more artists continue to break these rules, leading to the creation of new genres and pieces of profound meaning and reflection. For this reason, what stood out the most to me was the introduction of “randomness” to the coding used for the works displayed, such as in the example of the cells where the use of randomness determined what the position and scale of the clusters would be, breaking the order and rules, but at the same time complimenting said order.
Nonetheless, in my eyes this randomness is a more subtle way of describing chaos. Chaos, the opposite of order, has always been a fascinating concept to me. How it disrupts what brings comfort and despite its unpredictability, its beauty emerges from what encourages artists to twist the horizon of expectations for viewers, offering new perspectives to “cliche” subject matter. Although I wasn’t foreign to any of these concepts, it was surprising to see them being introduced to systems and codes to produce the works shown. Before this video I always thought that coding relied mostly on the order, the simplicity, the structure, and precision of all the elements presented. This makes me want to explore more of this “randomness” in hope of applying the unpredictable on my codes as I do with my traditional artworks.
