generative art

Caesura confronts us with a circular temporality, in which different fragments from a video stream, itself derived from a documentary on space, are piled up and then brought together in the same instant by a compositional process. Nicolas applies these fragments to a color palette that also evolves over time. Here he seeks to explore the notions of framing and out of scope. 

With an optical illusion, it blurs the edges of this animated composition. To do this, he copies the central part of the composition. This reproduced part is then «grafted» in a fragmented way on the four sides of the image. By this principle, he "dissolves" the out-of-scope, "surpasses" the rectangular format inherited from the videos he uses as sources. Presented several times side by side, a continuity of pixels will emerge according to a grid layout and without spacing. This repetition will reveal a complex and moving motif, without visible delimitation. This pattern will allow me to create a perfect loop without beginning or end. Caesura allows the artist to explore a «pictorial spatio-temporality»
