Here you can find my experimentes using algorithms and machines to create physical art works, I explore the relationship between what exactly is described in an algorithm and the unpredictability of its physical implementation by the use of a machine.
Abstraction is rooted in our human visual feedback system.
Lines are drawn to mimic the process of hand drawing-painting. Sketches are generated by image segmentation, filtering, shape selection and depiction, relying on a personal and physical understanding of human visual perception.
All drawings-paintings are originals and some of them were made by a machine that I've build.

Open Call Pequenos Formatos at Galeria Monumental (2023)
This is a series of penplotter drawings, generated with an original line drawing algorithm, from a set of old postcards. These were specifically made for this open call.

"It seemed that the difference of opinion, tastes, and purposes increased just in proportion to the demand for conformity... It appeared that it was nature's own inherent law of diversity that had conquered us... our 'united interests' were directly at war with the individualities of persons and circumstances and the instinct of self-preservation." - Manifesto - A Libertarian Document, Josiah Warren
