Computer Structures 1-1a, 2a, 3a, 4 – Peter Struycken

“These six offset lithographs are smaller versions of a series of enamel on Perspex paintings created by Peter Struycken. The original paintings measured 150 x 150 cm and were made in 1969.

Struycken created the paintings from a series of computer-generated images produced using a computer program, or code, written by the artist. The first image in the top left corner, entitled ‘PROGRAM’ is an example of this code.

Struycken welcomed the ability of the computer to calculate endless visual alternatives for the arrangement of a series of different coloured squares across the picture plane. These 5 images are from a series of 8 paintings, which were chosen as the final selection from a much larger sequence of images, all of which are versions of one another. For Struycken, the computer enabled him to investigate the role of chance in the creative process, whilst also retaining some measure of control.” – V&A South Kensington collection

This Artwork has a virus

Like most other things last summer, the 59th Venice Biennale is cancelled in 2020 due to the virus that still disrupts our lives today. At the 49th (2001) Venice Biennale, another virus spread from the Slovenian Pavilion. Biennale.py; both a computer virus and a work of art created by 0100101110101101 (Eva and Franco Mattes) with de hackers group Epidemic. The Slovenian Pavilion at the Biennale’s physical space displayed two computers that infected each other reciprocally with the virus, which was readable from a large banner. The code of the virus written by Epidemic consists of computer code and natural language, giving rise to an executable program while still bearing semantic value. The work spread online too, was printed on T-shirts and recorded on CD-ROMs given to visitors. The spread of the infection, both online and print of the source code served a performative aspect.
