Starting from a series of more than 2000 paintings on canvas, this site generates an infinite number of possibilities in real time. Every 10 seconds a new image of a painting appears, to then cede its place to a new image after a few seconds, and this within a constant flow where no image appears more than once.
This site is an extension of a pictorial work called ...Etc... that has developed over time in diverse forms, moving notably from accumulation to dispersion, from plan to volume. This new chapter, introducing a digital element, aims to give the initial project a capacity to self generate beyond the original author, as if the painting may never be finalised.
Among the different questions that this approach to painting raises, that of the exhibition is central when the work loses its materiality and becomes, while keeping its reference to the studio practise, a form between incarnation and immateriality.
