Visuals and sounds out of explorative algorithms — an intentional collaboration with automation.

From subsets of personal photographs, videos, drawings, sounds, to infinite generative loops of chance reinterpretations, to glimpses of lucky beauty.

Ceramics, in a variety of clays, with primarily handcrafted glazes.

(2022) MSc Thesis: 'On the Feeling of Acoustic and Visual Tension in Generative Art'
From a comprehensive literature review of generative art through the lenses of acoustics, visual art and their interrelation, accompanied by an exploration of tension from a psychological and creative standpoint, a context-aware bi-parted experiment was performed through an interactive application, with a focus on core visual and acoustic features. The acoustic aspects at study were waveform, attack, release, frequency and amplitude; the visual ones were symmetry, thickness, orientation, irregularity and angularity. User tests were conducted with 60 people with the aim to conclude on the impact of the various aspects on felt tension, with a focus on their paired interactions within each domain, as well as on tension's relation to arousal and valence. Our analysis shows clear associations between certain feature values and extreme levels of tension, high and low, as well as several two-way interactions between features, particularly among visual features; it also shows tension to be strongly positively correlated to arousal and strongly negatively correlated with valence.
