CAMILLE ROUX
Intricada means ‘interlaced’ in Old Occitan, a Romance language spoken in the south of France. This project explores the balance between emergence and control.
A computer engineer in the south of France, Roux has been an entrepreneur in the business of helping developer teams transition into a new tech stack. He creates aesthetically pleasing art with mathematical or physical concepts.
Emergence - Intricada is created with autonomous agents drawing very small dots and following simple rules, positioned according to geometrical patterns. I’ve designed Intricada like a simulation, giving initial conditions and see what comes out of it. Each piece is the result of thousands of unpredictable consequences.
Variation - This collection includes a very large number of possible variations. Some properties are specific to the agents and allow to define their rules, colors, number of children, angle… Many parameters influence the initial position and direction of the agents, palettes… Each combinaison creates a very unique output.
From a distance, an Intricada piece may look like intersecting circles, geometric patterns, confetti, a perspective design.
When you get closer, you can see that these shapes are composed of multitudes of agent trajectories.
Finally, if we get even closer, we can see that these trajectories are composed of points (several hundreds of thousands per output).
Camille Roux was the Bright Moments artist in-residence for the month of March 2023. Pieces were minted at a fixed price of 0.1 ETH at all BM locations or by delegate minters. As a month long open edition, the collection is and shall forever consist of 270 remarkable works of art on chain.
