Generative computational paintings by Stanza. Each square is a series of work.
Technical Note. Many of these net artworks, particularly those created before 2012 can no longer be experienced through modern web browsers and require an older computer running compatible software, such as a old Windows system. The original files remain intact, including their generative processes and interactive elements. They can still be exhibited using a compatible technical setup.
Exhibitions. The works are available for exhibition on request. I can supply the original files and installation instructions, enabling them to be presented on screens or projected. If you are interested in exhibiting or accessing any of these works, please get in touch to discuss.

(1996- 2001) amorphoscapes II: Visual relationships disclosed by painting with code....maybe. (2003- 2004) amorphoscapes III. New aesthetic code responses disclosed by living systems...maybe. (2005)
"These works form part of Stanza’s Amorphoscapes series (which he has been working on since 1996). Unlike existing web-based incarnations, these are limited-edition touch-screens which better demonstrate Stanza’s uncompromising ability to craft technology. These works are exquisitely executed. Aesthetically and technologically they are flawless, standing out vividly against a backdrop of new media art which can be clunky and ill-defined. Even to the untrained eye, or those uninitiated in new media arts, Stanza’s skills and outputs as an artist working with electronic technologies are apparent. " Charlotte Frost
