This workshop explores the aesthetics of abstract imagery by teaching techniques to capture and process visuals that evoke the complexity of AI-generated art while remaining distinctly human-crafted. Participants will investigate the boundary between algorithmic precision and organic composition through a theoretical deep dive into the works of two masters of abstraction: John Whitney, whose pioneering work defined the mechanics of motion and digital harmony, and Aleksandar Srnec, whose geometric reduction and structural design created profound visual impact. By analyzing these foundational influences, attendees will learn to deconstruct modern perceptions of generative art and master the manual processes required to create authentic, visually intricate abstractions.
