KUBIKINO by Carolina Melis @carolina_melis Kubikino is an idiosyncratic face, made of a combination of graphical elements and colors generated by code. Using an essential library of geometries deriving from the circle in primary tones, the code randomly creates new faces resembling human physiognomy, animals and traditional masks.

EXSTASIS by Grant Oesterling Exstasis is an exploration in abstract pixel painting. Inspired by the work 20th-century abstract expressionists like Miró and Kandinsky, along with 16-bit pixel art aesthetics, the algorithm filters organic curvilinear forms through digital noise and pixel dithering to achieve a uniquely fluid effect. 

@museumartlight @carolina_melis FONTANA by @harvey_rayner  Fontana, Latin for fountain, playfully captures the flowing movement of a fountain in the abstract. Precisely drawn elements and a carefully considered color palette contrast with a subject that is in constant flux. 

@museumartlight @carolina_melis @harvey_rayner INK by Iskra Velitchkova @pointline_  INK speaks to the bold insistence on leaving a trace, a mark that knows it will fade, yet persists. A poetic contradiction lies in each stroke: the pursuit of permanence in a world destined to vanish.

ACT OF EMOTION by Kelly Milligan @kellymilligannz  Act of Emotion investigates digitally-facilitated abstract expressionism: the act of painting itself as a means of expression, extended into mechanical reach. It is a reflection upon the future of automation, machine consciousness, creativity, and humankind’s inevitable consequences. 

@museumartlight @carolina_melis @harvey_rayner @pointline_ @kellymilligannz RUNNING MOON by Licia He @Licia_He Running Moon depicts the nuanced interaction between clouds and moonlight. It is a search for boundaries between structure and fluidity, precision and errors. It is a quest for harmony.
