Signal Rivers

The central theme of this project revolves around bodies of water seen from an aerial perspective. It harnesses the mesmerizing beauty and complexity of rivers, highlighting their winding patterns and intricate interplay with the landscape. However, this serene beauty is infused with noise and glitches, which injects a sense of the digital into the organic, or perhaps the other way around.

As the title suggests, the glitchy aesthetic in "Signal Rivers" introduces digital artifacts, distortions, and anomalies that ripple through the serene landscapes. These imperfections, often associated with technical errors and malfunctions, create a paradoxical sense of harmony within the artwork. The juxtaposition of the pristine natural beauty of water bodies and the chaotic, almost otherworldly generated noisy signals prompts viewers to contemplate the influence of technology on our perception of the environment.

After a decade doing generative art, this is my first token on fxhash, exhibiting what came to be a common theme in my work: the fluid boundaries of modern digital art and the organic forms found in nature.
