Flow Fields (Reinterpreting Van Gogh)
Software art pioneer LIA presents a new collection of artworks exclusive to Sedition that reinterpret and rework classic Vincent Van Gogh paintings, using computer algorithms to generate new digital paintings which constantly evolve.
In this new collection, titled ‘Flow Fields’, the artist has processed the visuals of Van Gogh’s paintings such as Sunflowers, The Starry Night, and Almond Blossom, through custom-designed software. Taking the colour palette as a base, the computer code then creates a new life to the work, allowing them to evolve hypnotically in motion.
Based around the concept of ‘flow fields’ or ‘vector fields’, the series refers to a generative art technique that reveals the visible lines and loops that occur in magnetic and energy fields. The formula used by LIA renders imagery to different parameters creating an infinite number of variations in the lines of the original paintings.

Flow Field #1 – Reinterpreting The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
Taken from the Flow Fields series by software and net artist LIA, this reinterpretation of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night painting reworks and processes the historic painting into a modernised work of generative art. Using the original colour palette as a base, her custom-made computer code then translates the imagery to create a new revision using the ‘flow fields’ technique of revealing visible lines and loops in magnetic fields, allowing the visuals to evolve in motion.
Flow Field #2 – Reinterpreting Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh
Taken from the Flow Fields series by software and net artist LIA, this reinterpretation of Van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers reworks the historic painting through digital processing into a modernised work of generative art. Taking the original colour palette as a base, her custom-made computer code then translates the imagery to create a new revision, using the ‘flow fields’ technique of revealing visible lines and loops in magnetic fields, allowing the visuals to ever evolve in a captivating flow.
Flow Field #3 – Reinterpreting Almond Blossom by Vincent Van Gogh
The third generative artwork taken from the Flow Fields series on Sedition by Austrian software and net artist LIA, ‘Reinterpreting Almond Blossom’ reworks Van Gogh’s classic Almond Blossom painting by translating the original painting through digital processing to create a modern work as a digital painting. Using the ‘flow fields’ technique of revealing visible lines and loops in magnetic fields, the visuals are able to then evolve infinitely in motion programmed by her custom-built computer code.
