One day I walked into a store and saw a picture frame for sale. Inside the frame was a minimal combination of circles & semi circles, abstract graphics serving as placeholder art, nondescript but functional. Soon it would be sold, the placeholder thrown away and replaced by a photograph. It made me sad.

Combining minimalism & long form generative art, the viewer has to investigate deeper to appreciate the nuances. This act is antithetical to the placeholder, which is rarely looked at, mostly forgotten.

The placeholder becomes the art in this algorithm, elevating the minimalism to its own stage, to be appreciated by itself.
