Base Input:
The artwork begins with a portrait image of Mark Zuckerberg, selected to represent the archetype of The Architect — power through platforms and digital infrastructure.
Phase 1 – Grid Extraction:
The image is analyzed and processed by a custom algorithm that extracts a structured grid based on facial geometry and visual density.
This grid acts as a scaffold for composition, establishing spatial balance and underlying systemic logic.
Phase 2 – Generative Placement:
A generative algorithm populates the grid with strokes. Placement and direction of each stroke are determined by the local geometry of the grid.
Stroke behavior (directionality, thickness, curvature) is dynamically mapped based on a “tension” value — calculated from the proximity and angular relationship of each grid point to its neighbors.
Phase 3 – Parameterized Styling:
Color and stroke type are selected through a conditional algorithm that considers both position and local tension. This introduces visual variance within structural constraints — echoing the tension between control and design.
Phase 4 – AI Interpretation:
The generated piece is then passed through a custom-trained AI model, fine-tuned on abstract and expressive visual styles.
This model applies a final layer of organic interpretation, introducing microvariations, gestural complexity, and a degree of “artistic freedom” not bound by the original grid.
