    ÂPEX Is a generative landscape art project responding to the conditions of the Anthropocene, where the lines between what is possible and what is only imagined are constantly shifting. Simplified circles give way to hyperreal spaces and it is unclear whether at any point in the transition they resemble a landscape that one could actually inhabit. 

    At what point do abstract shapes start to resemble believable environments? Each viewer may experience this work differently, depending on where they draw the line between realism and

abstraction, natural form, reality and fantasy.

    While landscape art is traditionally understood to represent natural forms, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between the natural and manufactured. 

    When the code runs its course and a static picture emerges, a thin barrier seems to be crossed. The work tests out the limits between reality and hyperrealism, between abstraction and surrealism, blurring distinctions between them.

    The series is inspired by the beauty in nature and the power of mathematics. It uses golden ratios Fibonacci function and wave functions to create a fully generative landscape art made entirely with code. inspired by the Fibonacci sequence In Particular, and “The Power Of Limits” mathematics book by Gyorgy Doczi which explores form and ratios in math equations and unveils the beauty of nature mathematically.
