Description of the artwork is courtesy of Feral File:
“Over the years, Julien Gachadoat has perfected working with minimal grids of thin white lines on black paper. With “Mineral” he pushes this exploration further by extending his work with a range of artificial life simulations and distortions. The result is a series of dynamic forms that fit together as a series, but where each image is distinct through different layers of texture and form.
“Mineral” uses the structure of a grid as a playground for autonomous agents to wander around according to simple, discrete movement rules. Their local interactions lead to the creation of unpredictable sparse or dense geometric areas filled with lines. The images have many references from spiderwebs to broken glass, but they aren’t based on any specific natural phenomena. The forms emerge through the code that Julien created for building his own worlds.
