Exhibitor’s text‍

The works attempt to mimic the human response to a world of digital copies. Each time a new copy of the work is digitally generated, it has a slight variation from the previous one. Thus, the digital models also become unique. A dialogue is created between the analog and digital by retaining the hand as an essential tool in the creation of physical works. The works are created by an algorithm that generates a collision of two digitally created patterns, which are then transferred to the clay.
