Quayola
This series of video works uses ultra-high-definition footage of Cornwall’s stormy seas as a dataset to generate new computational paintings. The works “paint themselves” over the flow of dilated time, pictorial forms that untangle on the canvas/screen, crumbling towards abstraction. Although the link with reality thins on a retinal level, the paintings are generated from the exact same “natural data'' captured en plein air. The machine is programmed to produce a “traditional painting” of a digital substance, a painting of pixels.
Quayola is a London-based artist who uses technology to explore the tensions and equilibriums between opposing forces: the real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new.
