About the artist
A Berlin artist who works in code. He writes small deterministic drawing systems: thousands of fine ink strands follow an invisible field, flowing around one reserved empty shape whose edge is drawn entirely by absence. Every print is a single numbered seed, chosen from hundreds and never corrected by hand.
See all by Emil Varga2,477 points, and one region among them that holds none. The occulting body is never drawn: it exists only where the census stops, and the 360 stars it covers are the measure of how much sky it takes. Seed 1 of Emil Varga's deterministic system Occultation, drawn in carbon ink. Rendered from code at 300 DPI, the same seed on the same algorithm always yielding the same plate, down to the counts its foot carries.
This piece is drawn by code, not by hand and not by a model. The values above are its whole recipe, and the same values always draw this plate exactly, pixel for pixel. We record them so the edition stays pinned: what you buy cannot quietly become a different image later.
