Laser Etched Paintings

Artworks by Georgios Cherouvim features painted canvases with images created with 3D models and laser etching:

Finite Image Generator
A fundamental artifact of any digital imaging device is that it samples an infinite reality and encodes it in a finite data-set. A digital image is essentially a series of color values and its definition is limited by the size of the data it holds (number of pixels and color depth). The experimental software FIG exploits this artifact and attempts to iterate through all the possible color combinations a digital canvas can hold. Since any image can be digitized, we should also expect that any and every representation can be found in one of these possible color combinations. FIG guarantees that with enough time, it will eventually generate every possible image. At the present time this only works in a theoretical level, as even when running at 60 iterations per second, it would require a little less than 10 billion years (or almost the age of the known universe) to iterate through all the images of an 8x8 pixels image and just 2 colors. But as the processing power of computers keeps increasing alongside the fast progress in quantum computing, we may eventually be able to brute force the generation of all images and filter the meaningful ones out of the chaos. In a potential future version of this software, the output images can be passed into an image recognition algorithm which would identify, aggregate and categorize human recognizable results and allow us to see everything that can be seen. So what will happen if and when we get to that point? Could this ever challenge human creativity? Who would own the intellectual property of all the pictures?

On View: “Howl” by Mikiko Kumazawa at Mizuma Art Gallery

Four years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake which continues to have a significant impact on the nation of Japan and its artists. On March 11th, the anniversary of the disaster, Mizuma Art Gallery presented “Howl”, an exhibition of elaborate pencil drawings by Mikiko Kumazawa. Kumazawa’s latest works reflect on the past four years, and her own personal emotional interpretation of the event. Collectively, here is an image of human nature’s strength and weakness in the face of uncontrollable forces. Her larger than life drawings depict horrified giants making their way through a crumbling city scape and eating trees, as in “The Tree of a Demon’s Children”. This piece alone took over one year to complete.  In another image, a group of school children is embraced by the same tree, as nature tries to protect its kin. Kumazawa’s sentiment is conflicted, as she exhibits nature’s power to destroy and also to heal and preserve. “Howl” is currently on view through April 11th.

This series of images is an experiment in digital reconstruction of portrait photography, in an attempt to create a hybrid between hand drawn and procedurally generated image.

A custom software was implemented in processing, which provides the user with a set of digital brushes. As the user draws on a blank canvas, the software references the color of an input image at the position of the brush and draws a basic element. The user’s only creative decision is where and how to apply the brushstrokes within the image. Using a tablet, the speed, tilt and the pressure of the pen determines the size and shape of the element, creating expressive brushstrokes.

Along with painting the images, the implementation of the tool played an equal role to the whole creative process. Both stages defined the aesthetic of the final images.
