Strata #1

2008

Video installation that reimagines the ceiling of Chiesa del Gesù in Rome through computational methods. Composition, color-schemes and geometrical features of the Baroque fresco are analyzed by algorithms, gradually revealing new abstract formations. Delving beneath its iconographic appearance, the work celebrates new algorithmic and non-human aesthetics.
