v: Matthew Biederman

" This work continues Biederman’s inquiries into the nature of digital colour, its representation, and perception which began in the early 1990s. With this new set of works he cites the trajectory of abstraction’s touchstones. From Rodchenko’s ‘basic color planes’ of 1925, through Newman’s ‘zips’ of the 1960s and to Robert Irwin’s installation of 2006. Here exploiting a computer, open-source artificial intelligence models, and custom software Biederman also asks “Who’s afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?” Through the interaction of the machine attempting to resolve the question, combined with Biederman’s own software a complex collaborative system between the two is responsible for the resulting confrontational work.
