after two hours in urgent care at the health center, I rushed back to studio to do my presentation and barely got through it without wheezing… not sure if like a boss, or extremely reckless?
Seed Drawings by Clement Valla
Ongoing art series which looks like computer generative art, is actually a product of thousands of drawings by people:
Each Seed Drawing is an aggregate of many smaller drawings, all produced as copies of one another.
Over a 3 month period, thousands of individuals were solicited to copy small simple line drawings, through an online labor marketplace called Amazon Mechanical Turk. As each copy was completed, it in turn was replicated by other Mechanical Turk workers. Each drawing is produced by a single individual with no knowledge of the overall forms and structure within the larger drawing.
The iterative process of copying produces growth-like structures in which different patterns of influence and large-scale structures emerge. These larger drawing characteristics are purely the result of local interactions; beyond the writing of the algorithm, no single individual is making larger decisions for the group.
