Through my Computational Color Design research I develop algorithmic methods to produce color palettes for RGB and CMYK outputs. For the “Color Code, Algorithmic Lines” series I use a hybrid process of creation that combines mathematical and intuitive approaches for self-expression. I have found that color palettes generated from RGB planes and cuboids, despite being structurally simple, can produce sophisticated and expressive color palettes. Formalistically I orchestrate via color and shape visual solutions that propose a unified reading of extremes: balance and chaos; light and darkness; structure and spontaneity… I believe that procedural colors will play a major role in art and design color selection processes in the 21st Century.
RGB Plane Method: The color palette of this artwork is derived from an algorithm that samples colors from a plane that was created inside the RGB color model defined as R=X, G=Y, B=Z. The size and position of the plane determine the range of possible colors. Another algorithm placed the colors in hundreds of lines, which I subsequently manipulated using commercial computer graphic applications. The algorithms produced for this work were programmed in Processing.
RGB Cuboid Method: The color palette of this artwork is derived from an algorithm that samples colors from a cuboid that was created inside the RGB color model defined as R=X, G=Y, B=Z. The size and position of the cuboid determine the range of possible colors. Another algorithm placed colors from the palette in hundreds of lines, which I subsequently manipulated using commercial computer graphic applications. The algorithms produced for this work were programmed in Processing.
