100 drawings

software, 100 70 x 100 cm sized digital inkjet prints
1999, Budapest

The 100 drawing is a 100 piece series of 100 x 70 cm drawings, maybe print is better word. Citation from Gábor Andrási: "... these are not drawings." Really, they are not, at least I did not make even a line. The 'material' of the drawings is not paper and ink, but pure software. They represent the software which produced them. Until this time they were exhibited in greatest number (30) in the Gallery of Club 'Óbuda' in the exhibition Untitled. The drawings was leaned against the wall between two glass plates. This way of installation was used, because I wanted prevent the illusion of graphic art. The geometric base of the drawings is the Penrose-tiling. This tiling tiles an infinite plain by two kind of rhombuses, and the order of the shapes never repeats itself. I find Penrose-tiling the most elegant deterministic chaos on the world. The drawings constructed from the rhombuses of the Penrose-tiling, but it is not seems well, because I changed the rhombuses with small drawings. The animated image in this page shows it, and also useful to see the software (Pen 2.0 - download from here). The lines of the small drawings touch on the same place the side of the rhombuses, so they are connected, and that's why hard to recognize the Penrose-tiling.

The drawings' plot was sponsored by the National Cultural Foundation.
