A Series of Crowd Sourced Meditations

A series of crowd sourced meditations
Acrylic, green tea, salt, and coffee
36 in. x 48 in.
This ongoing series of paintings is composed of two layers. The bottom layer is poured paint with natural dyes on raw canvas and the top layer is a flat hard edge acrylic painting based on digital image stills. Using MAX MSP, a generative software tool, I mapped a series of crowd sourced jpeg images onto rotating fields of platonic solids, auto-composing a kaleidoscopic color field. I then took screenshots of these images and used them as references for a series paintings and drawings.
