Iconographies #81-4: Adoration after Botticelli

2016

Adoration of the Magi, 1475 | Sandro Botticelli

Series of printed texts from different fields describing Botticelli’s masterpiece Adoration of the Magi. A short and poetic text from Giorgio Vasari (The Lives, 1568) is juxtaposed to long strings of code describing the painting’s algorithmic analysis, highlighting the tensions between human and non-human perception.
