Pascal Dombis

Pascal Dombis (born 1965) is a digital artist who uses computers and algorithms to produce excessive repetition of simple processes.

Dombis is noted for his excessive use of simple algorithmic rules. When rules are input in an excessive process, new and unpredictable forms come to the fore and generate the unlikely; which is not dissimilar with the way the Surrealist exquisite corpse operated. Dombis initially worked with simplistic rules: drawing a straight line for instance. But then he used digital tools to reach the wildest proliferations possible. Visual forms appear (they are not intentionally programmed) out of the excessive enforcement of autonomous and simple rules.

Irrational Geometrics
''"When you take a line fragment and give it a stretch, as you do with the string of a bow, the first result is a curve, then a circle and in case you go for it, endlessly, the ultimate artefact is a line again. That series works on the stretch of the line and push the principle of fake straight lines and genuine curves (as if straightened up eventually, out of saturation) to its utter limits." ''

Irrational Geometrics is a series of installation that features a seemingly moving random lines and shapes projected onto studio wall, some of the work provides viewer with a mechanism to alter the behavior of the projection, creating vastly deffirent pattern according to the viewer's input.
