100 Pieces
Art Paris (FR) 2015
This simple project shows the artist playfully reducing the production of art to a purely mechanical process, rather than the result of a well-thought, creative design. A plain but pretentious “art machine,” crouching awkwardly on its off-balanced feet, generates successive images suggestive of a contemporary style. A slow parade of geometric forms ambles across the screen one at a time, each leaving behind a random imprint as it passes. A little dusting of virtual particles completes the process, and the resulting picture is automatically numerated and signed as though the authentic output of a human artist. Unlike a human however, the machine can effortlessly produce a hundred masterpieces for the price of one.
