Mirada

“Look” is a window into the moment when perception transforms static into movement. Figures emerge and disappear, weaving a visual game that invites us to observe beyond the obvious. It is a fragment of sensation, a whisper that escapes between time and form.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

Herbert Franke’s “Squares” served as a starting point, but not a destination. While Franke explores generative and computational art with a precision that reveals hidden structures, I decided to capture the moment of the first glance. That fraction of a second when the image resonates or fades.

“Look” plays with the interaction between the visible and the absent. White squares of different sizes, arranged on a black canvas, fluctuate in their opacity, creating a rhythm that is only discovered through contemplation. To manage this subtle change, I used a digital control structure, although each square was created manually. This balance between the artisanal and the technical reflects the search for an aesthetic that does not treat the digital medium as a simple tool, but as a space where the perceptible and the imperceptible blur. When exploring these frontiers, echoes of certain critical reflections resonate that understand technology as a true collaborator, not as a simple instrument.

Inspired by “Information Aesthetics,” I sought to explore how art not only communicates data, but also perception itself. The beauty in “Mirada” arises from the order and chaos that coexist in the flow of forms. It is a dance of information that is organized and disorganized before the eyes of the viewer.
