This installation is a contained system for making art. It consists of a software which creates real time compositions from images placed in a database. The software arrives at these compositions through a series of algorithmic decisions. These compositions are then stored to the hard drive. And from these a few studies are made as watercolors. From the watercolors one oil painting is executed, then framed.
