Text

little boxes on the hillsides, mother is an animated abstract suburban cityscape powered by a program of LIA’s own design and development. Over the 25 years of her artistic career, LIA’s working process has typically involved as much intuition as it does engineering skill, and this piece is no exception. Growing from an initial Processing sketch by way of the artist’s careful selection of angles, transparencies, and line weights, alongside deliberate retention of accidents and bugs, a virtually infinite sequence of house-like forms appears and disappears, sliding over each other in hypnotic rhythms as they make their way slowly down the screen. Taking inspiration from the song “Little Boxes” by Malvina Reynolds, little boxes on the hillsides, mother  is a contemplation of houses and cities. The cyclical relationship between the construction of homes, the lands and environments they have replaced, and the ecosystems that will eventually replace them is echoed through an infinite production of geometric compositions. The installation of this work invites user interaction, allowing visitors to reset parameters or pause the application and view the artwork in stillness, much like a print or painting.
 
LIA has been partnering with Art Blocks to present little boxes on the hillsides, child as a series of NFTs minted on the Art Blocks website, produced with a more recent version of the program: colourful children of this animated piece. Available works have been offered as still images (and a hidden animation) produced by the output of the artwork’s generative process.

REPOST from @bitforms: On the occasion of bitform REPOST from @bitforms:

On the occasion of bitforms gallery’s 20th anniversary, we are pleased to present “A Generative Movement” in San Francisco @minnesotastreetproject. Join us for the opening on October 2, from 2–7 PM.

The exhibition, showcasing generative artwork from @refikanadol @studiodanielcanogar @liasomething @lozanohemmer @manfredemohr @reas @nihil_diamond and @squirrelzurkow celebrates artistic vision through computational innovation with works spanning from 1971–2021. Although algorithmic in part, exhibited works are a human exploration of process—each piece is guided by unique parameters to construct a desired outcome. “A Generative Movement” manifests generative software’s ability to act as an artistic tool with evolving outputs. 

October 2, 2–7 PM. Masks required. 

We’re excited to share Rafael Lozano-Hemmer will be present from 5–7 PM to discuss his work and exhibition @sfmoma.
