Original artwork description:

Blob, sculptural painting inspired by Data.

The new era we live in has encouraged us to be more involved in virtual relations, content, and creating our own data, meaning creating our own narrative.
Nevertheless, Blob happens.

what is a blob? well, to make it short A blob is is a collection of binary data stored as a single entity.

Blobs are typically images, audio or other multimedia objects, though sometimes binary executable code is stored as a blob. They can exist as persistent values inside some databases or version control system, or exist at runtime as program variables in some programming languages. It is not to be confused with a binary file stored in a file system.

how fascinating it is to look into data as an abstract representation of us or a singular person?

Let's go deeper into how a blob can be translated into a shape.
If you need to visualize the process, lets say there's a pile of laundry that got sewed in together while they were pilled up. (simplified version)
from that, I chose to combined this concept with colors and create a color palette that would be stacked to create the shapes of each blobs.


As Data is something intangible, most of us are not sensitive to storage, management, and classification of it.
But if you look at it with the eyes of an abstract artist, you can visualize stacks or organizer of it, by type, colors, origin, or encryption.
We are now in an era where you data say more about you than what you would think.
If we go deeper in that direction, we can scale the different types of Data in the different ages of Web.


Going back to the creation of these Blobs, Art in general is a reflection of what happens in society at the same time.
With this new wall sculpture, i have decided to add dimensions to the shape by adding half or quarter circle to create an anamorphose, a different vision only accessible from one point of view.
data give numbers, but interpretation give perspective right?
in this composition, i circled back to one of my classic shapes involving series of cropped circles creating a movement, an harmony in saturated space.
I chose to work with secondary colors and find an harmony, warm tones and painted many layers to create a vibrant scene.
