The Anatomy of Fracture is a continuation of the research initiated with the solo exhibition line(); in December 2023, exploring the process of drawing infinite combinations of lines prompted by one of the works and title instructions of minimalist artist Sol LeWitt. His work is often a reference point for generative artists because of the obvious parallels between his algorithm-like instructions and the natural randomness introduced by various factors. The initial instructions, consistently providing strict constraints, were interpreted in many ways through interactive animations projected on a physical book and triggered by turning the page.
Code evolution (and intentional code disruption) gradually diverged from initial instructions, led lines to morph into bands, break their directions, and fracture surfaces into shatters, so the focus of The Anatomy of Fracture became about language imperfections, disruptions of verbal precision, unpredictable visual incidents originating from loose interpretations from spoken language, and embedded ambiguity in the code. Like LeWitt’s instructions, code defines the parameters that orchestrate visual creation, imposing a structure while allowing chance and unpredictability to influence the final output.
Frequently combining simple geometries and principles with scientific notations, diagrams, and graphs, I'm suggesting connections, explanations, and additional instructions, but with the aim to augment how pliable and emotional our minds are in perceiving truth and reality. There are conceptual and some visual links to Sol LeWitt’s The Location of Six Geometric Figures (1974), a series of prints typically consisting of a straightforward, diagrammatic drawing accompanied by frustratingly convoluted directions.
