From the City to Chance

In 2016, as part of my preparation for art high school at ZUŠ Plzeň, Jagellonská 14, I was assigned the task of creating a graphic stylization of the city. I was curious to see how far this stylization could go, so I continued working on this project over the following years up to the present (2019). From a simple stylization of the city, I moved on to disrupting regular grids, which created remarkable tension from an artistic perspective. I also attempted to incorporate chance into this project, but I was unable to discover anything resembling true chance without any cause. Determinism always stood in my way, so I relied solely on pseudo-randomness (where the cause can be identified, but the result is difficult to predict and therefore appears random). Some paths led me to a dead end, so I had to seek a different perspective and other graphic solutions, such as programming the visual output, the moiré effect, the Fibonacci sequence, etc. The series of images below is a summary of these works.
