Strata #2

2008

Video installation that reimagines the stained-glass windows in Notre-Dame and Saint-Eustache through computational methods. Composition, color-schemes and geometrical features of the Gothic windows are analyzed by algorithms, gradually revealing new abstract formations. Delving beneath its iconographic appearance, the work celebrates new algorithmic and non-human aesthetics.
