With you

Senbaku・2024

Through her explorations of generative art, Senbaku finds nature to be a source of countless creative prompts as well as randomness. In With you, patterns derived from the Markov chains and Monte Carlo methods used by Hiroshi Kawano are combined with organic, contorted circles that the artist finds aesthetically pleasing. Kawano’s concept of “man-machine teamwork” introduced a collaborative process whereby a programmer handled the ideation phase, the computer managed the design phase, and the production group carried out the final creation. With you revives the emergent potential of “man-machine teamwork” with computer and human interdependent.
