Abstract
Here I propose an excerpt of an ongoing project in which mechanisms of drawing systems beyond human hand are explored and are put in relation with human methods of representation. The drawings that conform the video we are going to talk about, are all generative. The first ones are generative drawings made by spring rain falling on papers, and the following ones are generative drawings made with the software processing simulating water and water drops systems. I put in relation this two generative systems: the weather system and the algorithmic machine system: both practices incorporate random processes set to motion with some degree of autonomy resulting in a series of changing drawings or drawings in motion. Besides that, sound recordings of waterscapes are used. By exploring these mechanisms, and therefore creating this kind of images, we could be more aware of the actants that conform and modify our spaces beyond human action. By working with these images, far away from self-referenciality, we can develop an attitude of receptivity and deep listening of our environments.
