Conceptions

For this series I tried to understand whether there was a pattern in the way we perceive space. And especially if you looked at a landscape or an architecture, if this pattern was changed.

After a number of experiments I realized that abstraction happened much more quickly and easily with a landscape. Or maybe it was the code used that lent itself better? Could there be a “landscape code ” and “code architecture”?

So I then changed algorithm to see if the difference was quite eloquent in order to associate an algorithm to a landscape or architecture. The experience was not very successful and I always had a facility with abstract landscapes but with less architectures.

I then looked more specifically the code that allowed these transformations. It’s pretty simple . Pixels stretched and displaced picture’s blocks. Everything randomly (which is characteristic of generative images) .

After my experiments -wanting to fool the code to achieve the same beauty of abstraction in landscape architecture - I went to the evidence that this equality was not relevant.

Our perception of a landscape is radically different from that of architecture.

The laws of physics are deeply rooted in our unconscious and our brain will always be the year to “reconstruct” what is not. The room for interpretation is quite diminished.

With a landscape however this “construction” of the mind is less pronounced (although it must exist ) and longer indulges towards an abstract perception of what we see.
