Visual Art // Maria Aparicio Puentes

[Note: the artist uses random photos that she discovers and then she gives her geometrical pattern of the photo -- using mixed media pieces and shape]

”As a child, my favorite subject at school was always visual arts, I loved it! It relaxed me and show me new things, connect everything in a more intuitive but also with clearly defined work processes. I imagine that some of these impressions point me to study Architecture.

In recent years, much of the discussion in the field of algorithmic architecture and generative design has focused on agent-based models and what is more generally termed as complex systems. While there is no doubt that complex systems can produce intriguing results, the aim of this project is to use a very simple process to generate heterogenous, complex output. A simple process has the advantage of more control; its output is easier to predict and can therefore be more easily refined through subsequent parameter adjustments.

This project begins the exploration of 3-dimensional subdivision processes. By modifying these algorithms to include additional weights, one can generate forms with entirely different attributes.  Each of the pavilions is based on two interlinked cubic frames, similar to a tesseract. The generative process for each of the pavilions is identical, only its parameters – specifically its division weights – are allowed to change.

Hansmayer Basics \\ 2D Subdivision

- Healing time -Subdivision in this project refers to the recursive division of a  polygon into smaller components based on defined rules. Those rules specify how many new quads are produced in each iteration. These rules determine also the shape of the new quads by specifying the placement of their vertices. The position of every new vertex is defined as a weighted interpolation of its parent vertices.

Morning Embrasures \\ Figuration

the following post is a short introduction of the painter, photographer, and architect –a gist to get you in his shoes — and an extra rare collection of his photos under the subject ”Figuration” , 1983.

Georges Rousse

(From bio)”His raw material is Space: the space of deserted buildings. Taking his inspiration from a site’s architectonic quality and the light he finds there, he quickly chooses a “fragment” and creates a mise-en-scène, keeping in mind his ultimate goal, creating a photographic image…

…In these empty spaces, Georges Rousse constructs a kind of utopia that projects his vision of the world–his imaginary “universe.” His creation both expresses his artistic intentions and resonates with his impressions of the site, its history and its culture..

…Finally, this results in a photograph, a flat plane, so the shapes he paints and draws, and the volumes and architectural constructions he creates in those massive spaces seem fractured or split on different levels. His photo masterfully brings together painting, architecture, and drawing. It carves out a new space in which the artist’s fictive world becomes visible.”

Delphine Renard in Flash Art, May 1983 on “Figuration”:

These painted figures with their ghostly appearance serve as a springboard for the imagination. like mute actors in a play, but in a theatre that turns the traditional relationship of actor to stage set upside down; here, the active subject is the fullness of the space, which is revealed like a haunting “site from memory”.
