Un-distance is an exploration between digital and physical. Technology today allows us to play in an unprecedented playground of information where generative art opens the door to the most bizarre and complex stories.
Being subjected to the computational limits & the randomness of some processes brings impressive outcomes that begs the experimenter to question deeply the nature of the results. This series is a game of stages of an algorithm created, throughout a thoughtful balance of lines, colors and overlaps to evoke a sense of an emergent spring.

Un-distance is part of Kate Vass Gallery's PHYGITAL exhibition. Each NFT of this series includes a unique plot (42X29,7cm) created by the artist. Upon resale on the secondary market, the artist does not carry any responsibility on whether the physical plot is included in the sale.

Pixel is Data is not your ordinary photography app for the iOS. It uses the image data to reorder the pixels according to their values. You can use photographic order or the RGB components of each pixel to determine priority
