Biots and Other Emerging Forms
This project began as thought experiment regarding the evolution of aesthetics. I mimic a Darwinian model of evolution in art media and process. Evolutionary change is evidenced by aesthetic and design motif drift. DNA is my memory and a simple algorithm of limited acceptable marks. My subliminal influences provide the ecosystem, and simple mistakes and memory lapses provide innovation or mutations.
To temper my “input” into the system I work blind. Marks are made using a stylus that only embosses the surface of the paper, not leaving any media on the surface. These marks are only visible under a raking light source. I can only see the most recent components of the drawing. As I move across the drawing surface, earlier parts of the drawing become invisible. The normal visual feedback loop is interrupted; I have only my faulty memory and my algorithm to guide the drawing to completion.
The final “rub up” of the drawing surface with charcoal or crayon reveals the resulting design motifs and overall form as well as how they have drifted from one end of the drawing to the other.
This experiment is of course only pseudo-scientific as complete “blinding” and “control” of my various inputs into the system is impossible. However the process does generate new ideas, patterns and over-all biomorphic forms.
