DMA, Dessins Mécaniques Aléatoires (Aleatory Mechanical Drawings)
Archival ink on acid-free 300 g. Montval Canson paper.
The DMA drawings are composed of three layers traced one on top of the other, each one has a different color. For each layer, the shapes, their position and their rotation are generated randomly. This protocol works on a 2 x 3 grid with 5 shapes, 6 positions, 8 rotations and 2 orientations for the stripes. Following these parameters, the program creates a code that is sent to the machine on which a pen is mounted. Each layer uses a different color, so the pen has to be changed before printing a new one.

Aleatory Monotypes
Archival ink on acid-free 300 g. Aquarelle Canson paper.
2 colors, 18 x 27 cm. (7 x 10,6 inches).
Limited edition of 22 monotypes.
The TMP compositions consist of two layers stamped one on top of the other, each one has a different color. For each layer, the shapes and their rotation are randomly generated. This protocol works on a 3 x 3 grid with 5 shapes and 4 rotations. The protocol is rigorously followed and the final result is never known before the end. Each composition is unique.

Generative and collective mural painting
Gisèle Guillemot High School, Mondeville, France

Project carried out with 52 students as part of the Festival Palma.
“10 kolommen” generative and collective mural painting
Heerlen, Netherlands
August 2020
130 participants
Project produced by the Stichting Street Art Fondation and curated by Approved By Pablo.
The building has 130 apartments. After measuring the wall and analyzing the structure of the building, I found an easy and logical way to divide the façade in 130 cells. Before starting the painting, we went door to door and asked the residents to run a generative protocol to create what would be painted in each cell. Almost all of the 130 shapes on the wall were generated by the residents of the building.
