Abstract:
What happens when artists use computers to quantify the infinity? We will explore the sublime in a few computational artworks that evoke both pleasure and fear. Where, on one hand, we aesthetically comprehend the process and results; but, on the other, we are overcome by the sheer magnitude of data and cosmic time scales needed to completely compute the simple algorithms.
