Like a dotted memory that fades with time, suspended between presence and absence.

Monochrome texture only with horizontal lines and spacing.
Drawn by a machine, yet whispering something deeply human

The optical effect shows gray areas when there is only black color.

Interesting optimization of the drawing, only 16 minutes for a 25x25 cm. The width of the acrylic marker is perfect for filling in the darker areas.

Coded in Processing, the work overlays shifting grids and dot fields to form a subtly morphing composition.

The visual weight is controlled by the brightness of an underlying image, translated into modular grid intersections. Look closer: the forms seem to shift and pulse depending on your distance.
