cartography [2022] is an ongoing development of generative graphics for almost.adult [with Patrick Dallio].

   Evoking images of biological structures, landscapes, coastlines or cities as well as referencing vernacular, modern [Wiener Werkstaette], postmodern [Memphis Group], and alien pattern making, the series lovingly embraces the contemporary desire for information density.

Articulating differences in degree [continuous] and in kind [discrete], it encapsulates knowledge of design culture, providing a stimulus for imagination and speculation.

   Simultaneously it is our humble tribute to Koloman Moser, the brilliant designer of the Viennese fin de siecle, signalling parallels between current and past cultural and political debates.

Geometric principles used extensively by Moser are utilised with a contemporary, computational advantage: Penrose's impossible figures float in the field structured by his aperiodic tiling. In the background the most famous portrait of the artist is used as a data set driving local pattern densities, resulting in unique, contingent articulations.

 

 

   The results are manufactured as printed circuit boards, therefore allowing high degree of precission in texture, silkscreen and gold-plated finish.
