Pleasant Places

2015

Series of videos depicting late-spring landscapes in Provence.

The poetic behavior of trees and shrubs moved by strong mistral winds serve as a dataset to generate new computational paintings. Speculating on the traditions of landscape painting, the work explores a hybrid substance between the pictorial and the algorithmic.
