Promenade (almost) random

 

Promenade (almost) random is the product of the latest experiments of the artist. The work is an algorithm created by Vera Molnar and programmed by mathematician and artist Erwin Steller. The forms generated by the mathematical fgura are im-prey and then reproduced on the wall of the exhibition space with the help of small nails and a black cotton thread. The paper is well bypassed benefit of the installation. The lines, repeated in a frieze that repeats without beginning or fn, let you play on the perception of space and the wall surface. The inexorable abstract mathematical formulas are embodied in this fragile and sensitive materiality of a line that «walks teasing, slipping, feeling, on one foot, moving forward or backward […}, restarting and continuing nonsense once and again» (V. Molnar).
