One-off prints

Alex Russell’s one-off prints combine hand-made content with digital technology. He creates libraries of images with traditional media and writes code (computer programmes) that arranges them into artworks. His code mixes models of composition and colour (from art and design) with complex systems (from science and maths), creating unique outputs with every run.

As the content is added to the print, the individual elements influence each other’s behaviour, governed by systems such as cellular automata. The process works in two stages, using the biological concepts of genotypes and phenotypes to create a plan of the print and then build it. He works in series, each with its own themes, code and image library. No AI is used.

Prints can be commissioned to any size. Please get in touch for more details.
