Continuous Convergences

Year: 2023
This work is commissioned by CODA ExperienceLab and created for the exhibition “Coderen: ambacht van de 21e eeuw (EN: Coding: 21st century craft)”.

“Continuous Convergences” is a generative plotter artwork that explores the dynamic interplay between structure and fluidity. The composition is founded on a meticulous grid structure, which serves as the underlying framework for the piece. This grid is not merely a static scaffold but is activated and overwhelmed by a profusion of lines that both deconstruct and amplify its form.

The artwork features multiple divisions and subdivisions within the grid, creating a sense of rhythm and repetition. The grid’s modular nature is emphasized by its serial arrangement, with each section adjoining the next, suggesting an endless expanse beyond the picture plane. This seriality invokes notions of multiplication and division, evoking a sense of mathematical precision and infinite possibility.

The introduction of diagonal lines and triangular shapes disrupts the orthogonal order of the grid, introducing tension and dynamism. These elements add dimensionality to the work, appearing to both break and combine with the existing structure. The resulting interplay between order and chaos, stasis and motion, creates a mesmerizing visual experience that draws the viewer in, inviting contemplation of the complex and continuous convergences that define the artwork.
