New Hatching Patterns
Another approach to dividing the skies with geometry. This time, the hatching itself is holding up reasonably well; the patterns read cleanly, and the logic feels closer to right, but the overall composition still needs refinement before it settles. Une autre approche pour découper les ciels à l’aide de la géométrie. Cette fois, le hachurage…

Recap Bitcoin 2026 Las Vegas
Bitcoin 2026 Las Vegas has wrapped up, and it was once again a conference worth the trip. I was pleased to showcase Do Not Accumulate, a new Ordinal project exploring the design, implications, and quiet coercions of Central Bank Digital Currencies. The work generated exactly the kind of dialogue I had hoped for, specific, informed,…
Cloud Fragments Recomposed
Here is a small preview from a generative script that recomposes my cloud images. The process breaks the photograph into pieces and reassembles them through algorithmic steps, much like how an encryption algorithm transforms data into a different form. Voici un aperçu d’un script génératif qui recompose mes images de nuages. Le processus découpe la…

New Work: Radial Translation
For a while now, I have been feeding clouds into code. Videos and photographs of the sky, broken down and rebuilt in Python from sets of marks I make by hand: painted, stamped, drawn, then digitized. The results have always settled into a grid, one mark to a cell, orderly and rectangular. Radial Translation is…

Translating Radial Patterns
After experimenting with radial placements, I started connecting the script to my digital stamping script and existing tile sets, letting the two systems feed one another. The results are early and imperfect. The moving cloud patterns are still hard to read, and much of the structure remains buried beneath the motion. However, even in this…
Newly Hatched Cloudscapes
I have returned to tweaking my composed hatching scripts, the ones that alternate between different hatching styles based on the colour depth of each region. Every shift in tone calls up a different pattern, and watching the sky resolve into those layered marks feels like the logic of how clouds actually behave. Notably, what I…
