APEX #286

ÂPEX ~ is a generative landscape art project responding to the conditions of the Anthropocene, where the lines between what is possible and what is only imagined are constantly shifting. Simplified circles give way to hyperreal spaces. It is unclear if at any point they resemble a landscape that one could actually inhabit. At what point do abstract shapes start to resemble believable environments? Each viewer may experience this work differently, depending on where they draw the line between realism and abstraction, natural form, reality and fantasy. While landscape art is traditionally understood to represent natural forms, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between the natural and manufactured. When the code runs its course and a static picture emerges, a thin barrier seems to be crossed. The work tests out the limits between reality and hyperrealism, between abstraction and surrealism, blurring distinctions between them. Created by Ori Ben Shabat & Ronen Tanchum
