Art and algorithms
The first occurence of the expérience 14: twelve images based on the vocabulary invented by Otto Freundlich.
Below is the first image of a series of twelve from Experiment 14. The image is made by an algorithm that uses vocabulary invented by Otto Freundlich.
Based on the vocabulary invented by Otto Freundlich, the expérience 11-1 exposes three chosen occurences, results of the algorithm runs with the same identical set of parameters.
With the writing of the algorithm and the choice of the parameters, the selection of the results is one of the main humain interventions in the creation of these images.
Three out of thirty draws were selected.
Rosace II is one of Otto Freundlich‘s masterpiece. This painting on cardboard, visible at the Tavet-Delacour museum is the culmination of Otto Freundlich’s mastery of his pictorial writing based on the half-pointed arch and the quadrilateral.
An analysis of this artwork can be found in Otto Freundlich: 1878-1943 – Christophe Duvivier.
The series of 12 occurrences Rosace II 1941 – 2017 below, generated by algorithm, reinterprets the pictorial arrangement organized by Otto Freundlich.
Composition, 1941 is one of the many black and white works painted by Otto Freundlich.
The four 2017 occurrences generated by algorithm use the same balance between black, white and different grey levels of the artwork.
Composition – Rot-Grün is painted by Otto Freundlich in 1939.
The 12 occurrences 2017 generated by algorithm use the same pictorial arrangement of this painting.
Composition Diptyque, Otto Freundlich, 1937 is one the first example of the perfect mastery of the arrangement of the two basic shapes used by Otto Freundlich — the rectangle and the half-pointed arch — to focus the viewer’s attention on interactios between colors.
This spectacular diptych can be seen at Tavet-Delacour museum.
The algorithmic occurence below uses the same pictural dynamic.
