Generative wall painting
Les Aigues Douces, Port-de-Bouc, France
June 2025
Project carried out as part of Les Nouveaux Ateliers festival (festival-lna.fr/).
This mural was created following the Modo No.º67 protocol. After defining the outer margins, the wall was divided into four lines separated by a 39 cm strip. Each line was then divided into 8 x 4 squares and had to include one 2 x 2 square module and two 3 x 2 square modules. The placement of the 2 x 2 square module was randomly designated. For each module, 4 or 6 geometric shapes were randomly drawn and positioned in their corresponding squares. The shapes could not change squares, but they could rotate (at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°) to comply with the “flat sides” rule. Wooden shapes were pre-cut to facilitate manipulation and visualization. Once the composition was ready, the result was recorded on a form, and the module was painted on the wall. All random selections were made by rolling dice.
