Twenty-Six Visions of Hildegarde by Roman Verostko the pioneering Algorist who was deeply influenced by early twentieth-century abstractionists, was created for the SIGGRAPH 2004 Synaesthesia exhibition. This collection comprises pen-and-ink drawings enhanced with gold leaf, each measuring 25 by 33 inches. In this series, Verostko continues to explore the interface between digital procedures and artistic expression, using algorithms akin to his painting methods. These artworks are meticulously drawn using a pen plotter controlled by algorithms developed through Verostko’s Hodos program, manifesting complexity through code and encapsulating his lifelong engagement with algorithmic art.
