111v1ab "Ex-traits of Q." Digital algorithmic painting (2021-2022) 5000x5000 px 300dpi
"Ex-traits of Q. Sequence S_7z7b_13.73553" was realized and "remastered" between 2021 and 2022. It is part of my studies in Human ex/traits i started in 2010. Human ex/traits are algorithmic encodings through which I extract and re-interpret the structural pixels that characterize specific features of a human body. I encode my vision of the real encapsulated within an algorithm i coded. The algorithm is the "brush" through which I represent and describe reality as I perceive it. I use mathematical functions, originally perfect, abstract and ideal, contaminating them with human and reality imperfection and driven by curiosity to discover their behavior under altered conditions, with the following principle in mind: if it works break it, so it becomes interesting. Imperfection is the sublime of human nature.
Marco Trevisani aka "111v1ab" . I was born in Italy...long time ago, architect, composer, visual artist. Since 1990 I have been algorithmically encoding my perception of reality through music, images and installations. I studied architecture in Milan, music composition in Vienna, digital signal processing and programming at Stanford. I believe there is an inseparable and underground link between all arts, science and technology, where algorithms are the common elements for my "digital renaissance" . After wandering the world for 25 years, since 2017 I have been living in San Vito al Mantico (Verona, Italy)
