Brushpops
2021

Brushpops is a generative system inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s iconic work, where a random hash determines the composition of a series of abstract brush strokes.

Lichtenstein’s original work has separated the brushstrokes from their original context, and now we take another step in the same direction, and separate the artist from the work. Surrendering to the random nature of the generative system, I’m no longer able to curate the work, and throw out the outputs I don’t like. I have to relinquish control, and set the work free, where only some loosely-predetermined rules and a hash number will determine the actual outcome.

The Brushstroke was detached from the painting, and it’s now detached from the artist as well.
