        Gaston Rios


        Argentina

        ‌He was born in Argentina in a poor neighborhood in the Buenos Aires suburbs. His parents were lower-middle-class workers, so there was no room for art in his house. Even so, he managed to read, draw, play the guitar... Art was a way out, a ground wire for a difficult life, always on the edge. I am self-taught, I learned by watching over and over again the books by Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Alvarez Bravo, Brassai and a long etcetera, making mistakes over and over again, searching, always searching. My area is the street, it always was. It is my perfect setting: the lights, the colors, the people, the neighborhoods, the diversity, the changes, the social inequalities.

        Random Flowers


        Ricardo Cedeño Montaña - Colombia

        ‌The presence of flowers in our lives can evoke strong emotions and memories. Each flower is unique and has its own character. This individuality is the basis for an algorithmic creation that does not try to capture the essence of each one of them, but to create intricate patterns and new details from their rich colors and shapes.

        The poetic instant


        Gaston Rios - Argentina

        ‌Gastón Ríos's photographs are silver lightning bolts that illuminate the imagination and show what lies beyond the captured moment, that which is difficult to see unless you have the eyes of a poet and instead of dazzling you, the lightning illuminates you towards eternity that nests in that "decisive moment."

        Entanglements/Garden of ________________ (2023)


        Shannon McMullen (PhD) / Fabian Winkler (MFA) - United States

        ‌This work evokes a speculative narrative about the intertwining of people, plants, and places. It is an intervention in everyday spaces of green and concrete at walking speed. The augmented reality web app is an easy-to-use "drawing tool" that activates a symbiotic imagery by planting hybrid gardens that combine elements of the physical environment and virtual plants.

        Video Field Guide to Algorithmic Gardening (2020)


        Shannon McMullen (PhD) / Fabian Winkler (MFA) - United States

        ‌In a not too distant future in which gardens and fields will be increasingly cared for by sentient machines, what ideas of nature will these robots handle? This video field guide examines the challenges of moving between the cultural and the procedural. Translating the ambiguous concept of weeds into machine code offers a provocative speculative case study.

Developed by Sam Twidale, the interface allows the musician to create all kinds of graphics in real time using sound.
