"So much of art making is a deliberate set of decisions. At every point, when it comes time to decide one thing or another, you're left wondering: is this decision important to the story I'm trying to tell, or is it not important?" โ€”Lars Wander (@larswander)

His works examine how systems of logic and computation can become vehicles for perception, and how perception itself is never neutral. Beyond the technical precision lies a deeper curiosity: Wander is fascinated by how our ways of seeing are shaped by language, culture, and collective habits of thought. In his works, both generative and physical, colour, form, and light are not just physical phenomena but cultural ones.

Once, someone asked Willem de Kooning why his paintings were still sticky after all these years. He blushed and replied that he had added mayonnaise to the paint. Later, scientists tested the surface โ€” there was no mayo โ€” so the stickiness remained a mystery. Lars Wanderโ€™s approach to colour mixing, by contrast, is transparent: his colours are generated โ€œvia Kubelkaโ€“Munk theory, using spectral coefficients derived from Golden Heavy Body Acrylics and computed/provided by the lab of Roy Berns.โ€ Lars Wander: understanding the physical world through computation.

Working on an exciting interview with @larswander and canโ€™t wait to share! ๐Ÿ˜ If you arenโ€™t yet familiar, I encourage you to explore his incredible work larswander.com/. I find myself more and more interested in computer art the further I continue to read and connect with artists on their practice and explorations. Excited to continue sharing my conversations, questions, and discoveries with you all. I truly believe there is nothing more impactful than the act of storytelling via art and through text.
