First solo exhibition by the pioneering artist in Berlin brings new perspectives of his work<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
DAM Projects<\/strong><\/a> presents Moveto Lineto, a solo exhibition of works by Mark Wilson <\/b><\/a>in its space at Berlin’s Charlottenburg district. The show puts together works from 1983 to 2022 and will be open to the public from\u00a0 11 November 2022 to 21 January 2023.<\/p>\n Mark Wilson (* 1943) originally began his career as a painter before discovering the possibilities of generative software in the early 1980s. In doing so, he developed a clearly recognisable style from the outset, creating a coherent body of work that is not interested in quick effect, but reveals itself to be multi-layered upon close inspection.<\/p>\n “Writing software can be very intuitive. Even with a very formally defined programming goal, there are usually many different ways to achieve that goal. Choosing a good path to achieve the goal is a question of intuition, judgment, intelligence, and probably a thousand other things. In my case I don\u2019t have a formally defined goal\u2014except to make what I hope are interesting pictures. So I\u2019m juggling these various algorithms\u2014these recipes\u2014in my software, adding a bit more here, taking some away there. I could almost describe my working process as \u201cAlgorithmic Expressionism.\u201d This might be a bit of hyperbole, but again, I don\u2019t have a formal goal. I follow the process where it leads me….<\/p>\n My work attempts to directly use the digital nature of the computing machinery. Indeed, it is hard to imagine creating these works with any other medium.”<\/p>\n The exhibition introduces visitors to very different phases of his work, from the first “simple” line compositions to the increasingly complex images of the 2000s.<\/p>\n After his first solo exhibition in Europe at DAM Cologne Gallery in 2012, this is the first comprehensive exhibition in Berlin.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”15191″ full_width=”1″ opacity=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exhibition at DAM Projects, Berlin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15190,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[362],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-blogs","entry","clearfix","entry-post-module-layout-sidebar-right","thumbnail-color-tone-dark","entry-post","entry-standard","entry-post-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15189"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15189"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15192,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15189\/revisions\/15192"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
