Artist Statement

Waves is an exploration into waves of various forms, such as those found in visible and invisible light spectrums, and those occurring in aquatic spaces. The series explores concepts of gradients, dimensionality, amalgamations, transparency, space and time, feedback loops, multiverses, minimalism, deconstruction and reconstruction, and dream states.

The first five Waves were curated by Arthemort for the Artcrush billboard event in Belgium, in which the artworks were exhibited on one thousand billboards in hundreds of cities several millions of times during July 2024. Wave 6 and Wave 7 were created for the the “Hello, Brooklyn” // Techspressionism 2024 Exhibition

Wave is also a reference to the “Hello” part of the title of this exhibition, because how better to say “Hello” than with a “Wave” 🙂

The process for creating the still images started by writing JavaScript code in p5.js to create interesting abstract shapes, patterns, and colors. After writing code and generating many output images, several were selected for further exploration in artificial intelligence processes.
