Simplexity 01 (SIGGRAPH Asia 2020)

As an accepted submission to SIGGRAPH Asia 2020 Art Gallery, ‘ Simplexity 01 ‘ is a selection from an on-going experimental project that explores how unexpected visual complexities emerge from simple algorithmic procedures. For this particular work, the artist appropriated a simple space-filling algorithm into a generative medium for producing an unseen imaginary structure. The quality that identifies this work is the structure’s semi-organic appearance, and the artist sees this emergence as a direct result of the spatial scale that the algorithm was allowed to explore.

‘Simplexity 01’ was featured in the SIGGRAPH Asia 2020 Art Gallery Trailer (see below).
