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 VargaA census of a sky that was never observed: 2,852 points, and among them a shape that holds none. The body passing in front of the field is never drawn; its edge exists only where 265 stars stop. The plate records both counts in its foot rather than hiding the arithmetic. This print is seed 7 of Emil Varga's deterministic system Occultation, where the absence is the subject and the sky is what defines it. Rendered from code at 300 DPI: the same seed, the same algorithm, always the same plate.
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.
