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…

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…

I’ve been diving into a new script that traces the horizon to identify and isolate clouds, using that data to explore the negative space around them with generative patterns. It’s a fun mix of atmospheric logic and digital abstraction. Here’s a first look at some of the early outputs from the collage. It’s still a…

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…

I’m currently upgrading my tiling tools to work better with vector forms for future pen plotter projects. It’s fascinating how vectors make it possible to harmonize scale and spacing, and how a few small parameters can shift placements just enough to change the whole composition. I already like where this is going. Je suis en…

I wrapped up a new collage today, built from multiple generative studies layered, re-cut, and re-aligned until the seams began to disappear. I’ve been testing how patterns can function like material, while negative space becomes structure: it separates, but it also connects, letting the eye complete what isn’t there. Aujourd’hui, j’ai terminé un nouveau collage,…

After a few hours spent experimenting with an LED matrix, I reached for my fountain pen. Sketching clouds is a small mental reset. Ink and paper offer a slow, fluid space where thoughts can drift before returning to light, pixels, and Python. Après quelques heures passées à expérimenter avec une matrice LED, j’ai repris mon…

I just finished another collage built from by-products of the past few years. It feels like 2026 will shift my focus further toward generative work involving electronics and 3D. Some of these projects are already taking shape. Je viens de terminer un autre collage, construit à partir de sous-produits des dernières années. J’ai l’impression que…

I keep revisiting collage to explore new unions between different experiments and styles. This piece brings together generative data visualization techniques for pen plotting and tiled compositions, based on my Python-processed cloud imagery. Je reviens sans cesse au collage pour explorer de nouvelles combinaisons entre différentes expérimentations et différents styles. Cette pièce réunit des techniques…

I’m currently working on new projects for the pen plotter and keep returning to patterns that evoke the feeling of fabrics. At this point, I feel I’ll eventually have to turn some of them into an actual carpet or a set of towels. Je travaille actuellement sur de nouveaux projets pour le traceur à stylo…

Every project leaves behind a trail of files: experiments, tests, and by-products. I try to archive them carefully, but I also enjoy mixing them back together when the moment feels right. This collage combines pixelated algorithmic backgrounds, 3D-sculpted forms, and plotter paths into a single composition. Revisiting and repurposing these materials has become part of…

The holiday season and the end of the year are always good moments to pause and reflect, allowing patterns to surface across longer timelines. Over the past months, I’ve been thinking and writing extensively about contextualizing crypto art, with a particular focus on the role of art-world misfits in its early years, those who operated…

Wishing you a fantastic, healthy new year: Full of life, laughter, and spectacular cloud formations. 2026 has a lot of big news coming up, and I can’t wait to share it with you first. If you’re not yet subscribed to my newsletter, that’s where it will appear before anywhere else. I only send 3–4 emails…
