William Mapan pushes his algorithm beyond familiar confines with a new series of generative artworks.

Centrifuge is a series of unique and tangible prints drawing inspiration from memory and nostalgia. Mapan’s experimental outputs are a display of kinetic movements linked to how ink moves upon paper. Coloured inks form a sequence of 35 distinct variations of colour and pattern, each unique output controlled by code. No detail is sacrificed in the transition from digital to physical, as Mapan invites us into a sensory world of rhythm and chance.

“The work itself is more about experimentation as a whole. I know how code behaves, but wanted to explore the algorithm and how to go further. How can I have randomness in real life, and how can it make new textures?”

William Mapan1 collaborationFor over a decade, William Mapan worked long hours as a creative developer in the tech industry. In his spare time, he made art, but always just for fun. Then one day in 2018 he received a DM on Twitter. “Can you mint this?” It said. Mint? Mapan was baffled. He didn’t know what ‘mint’ meant. But slowly, the NFT world began to draw him in. And in 2021, he released his first NFT. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success. Mapan’s abstract digital paintings are truly one of a kind. The subtle combinations of colour and texture are beautifully expressive and emotional. Even though the artworks are generated by code, they look like they've been painted or drawn with materials like charcoal and graphite.
