A P1×3L is the atomic unit of digital and generative art. It can’t be quantified. A P1×3L is vibrant and alive. Artists choreograph P1×3Ls and P1×3Ls possess artists. P1×3Ls are ideas about image-making that transcend the technology they flow through. 

Each of the artists in the P1×3L exhibition has pushed the boundaries of digital and generative art in their own ways. As a counterpoint to the stream of technology being developed to make itself invisible, these artists foreground the materiality of their medium. And at a time when online spaces for digital and generative art are at the highest energy in over 20 years, this group of artists, who committed themselves to these fields a decade ago, remain vibrant creators. Their past work has stood the tests of time and their current work pushes forward. —Casey Reas

Feral File #006 - P1x3L

Nicolas Sassoon&rsquo;s &ldquo;4 ORBS&rdquo; is a new digital moir&eacute; animation that is part of a series of animated optical patterns created from geometric shapes and motifs. Its geometry is informed by optical and kinetic art of the 1960s and 1970s, created by artists like Jes&uacute;s Rafael Soto and Victor Vasarely. The series is also influenced by science fiction book covers from the collection &ldquo;Ailleurs et Demain&rdquo; (Elsewhere and Tomorrow) published in France in 1969. &ldquo;4 ORBS&rdquo; is released along with its companion work &ldquo;3 ORBS.&rdquo;
