Geometric Pattern Collage by Martin Lukas Ostachowski

I just got back from Texas with dozens of photos and videos. The clouds heading into Dallas rarely disappoint. With all this new footage, I’ve started experimenting with simple geometric patterns and shapes. Collaging clouds has become one of my favourite ways to slow down and play with the material.

Update September 8th, 2025:
Minted as an edition of 30 on OBJKT. Collect one edition here.
Added to the Artwork inventory as Cloud Collage CW32/25.

Scanning Skies for Clouds 2

Scanning Skies for Clouds

I am returning to a small project I set aside last year: a script that scans the sky for clouds and traces their contours. The work is far from finished, and the difficulties are instructive. Dark clouds and clouds sitting in shadow absorb so much of the blue spectrum that they become hard to separate…

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…

New Hatching Patterns

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…

Last Bill Edition Got Spent

Last Bill Edition Got Spent

For three weeks, much of my time has revolved around a transaction I cannot take back. On July 21st, a fee bump I pressed in the wrong wallet fed the final Digital EUR bill of “Do Not Accumulate” to a miner as part of a 758-satoshi fee. The full account is on the blog. This…

Power Sculpting

I am working on a new sculpture, one that will bring together several elements, including power plugs. So I spent a couple of hours sculpting a power plug from scratch. Below is a behind-the-scenes peek: three screenshots from the process, each a stage further along. There is something quietly fitting in the exercise. A power…
