I prefer to write programs (or machines, as I like to call them)… and it’s these programs that generate the compositions for me. With this method, the end result is never static; making room for as many anomalies as possible, every composition generated by the programs I write is unique to itself. I program the “brushes,” the “paints,” the “strokes,” the rules and the boundaries. However it is the machine that creates the compositions — the programs draw themselves.<\/i><\/p>\n stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Joshua Davis’s Once upon a Forest: A new print piece being installed at the Maxalot Gallery in Barcelona – www.maxalot.com for the upcoming “We have explosive” show.

\nIn John Maeda’s new upcoming book “Creative Code” published by Thames and Hudson (rel. 2004) I was given the opportunity to write an essay in the chapter addressing “dynamic abstraction”.<\/p>\n
