Jean-Jacques Duclaux, known as Eko33, has been a key figure in generative art since 1999. Beginning with a “portable” Commodore SX-64 (a briefcase-sized computer), he transitioned into using coding and software development tools like Max/MSP, Processing, and Nato.0+55+3d. His work debuted in 2004 at the International Media Art Biennial at Seoul’s Museum of Art. Merging traditional methods with digital innovation, Eko33’s work examines human biases, cognition, and environmental themes through algorithmically generated colors and patterns. Influenced by mid-century design and his background in sociology and psychology, Duclaux focuses on blending technology with cognitive exploration.

Terra Incognita

In the celestial tapestry of Terra Incognita, you'll find an intricate dance of hand-coded algorithms and AI aesthetics. This hypnotic reverie is a paean to the future and an ode to the past.

It’s as if Ivan Bilibin’s illustrative genius of folklore and fairy tales has voyaged into the digital unknown, guided by the ethereal landscapes of Yves Tanguy and the color-rich symphonies of Kandinsky. Each stroke and pixel becomes a coordinate in this uncanny stratosphere, a mathematical lyric in a generative epic.

Echoing the methodological fortitude of sociological scholars like Durkheim and the disruptive inquiries of philosophers like Popper, Terra Incognita emerges as an immersive enigma. This artwork beseeches you to discard your cognitive maps and biases to embrace an unfamiliar terrain of pure, untouched objectivity.

But colors here are not mere visual elements; they are hallowed relics of a bygone era, algorithmically retrieved from the annals of art history's luminaries. Reconfigured with code and AI, they evoke a poignant message about our planet's endangered tapestry — equally cosmic and aquatic, full of life yet teetering on the precipice of void.

Much like the intricate borders often adorned Bilibin’s works, Terra Incognita also reveals an underlying structural integrity, a brutalist core masked by a chaos of color and form. It isn’t merely an artwork; it’s an astral oracle — a magical looking glass through which you may rediscover the universe and your very self.

Life Paths XX

Life Paths is a series of generative artworks created with custom code and a 3D engine. Each piece is generated using a Block Hash value from the Solana blockchain as an input for the algorithm, with each artwork carefully curated by Eko33. The result of the code undulating, ribbon-like lines in this work resemble the optical dynamism found in Op Art.

Untitled series

The Untitled series is a collection of generative artworks that explore abstract landscapes. Utilizing algorithmic processes and a 3D engine, these pieces transform data into intricate, digitally rendered works that mimic the visual impact of tactile sculptures. The colorful hatches resemble delicate embroidery suspended in white shadow boxes.

Harmonic Gravitas 1/1

In the innovative series Harmonic Gravitas, Eko33 ushers the viewer into a domain where art syncs with the cadence of technology. Viewers evolve beyond mere spectators to become “maestros of interaction,” using the silent yet expressive gestures captured by a theremin or the swipe of a phone to transform the gravitational pull and color intensity of the artwork displayed before them. This concept has historical roots in multiple 20th-century art movements that challenged the traditional roles of viewer and artist.

This series is a celebration of creativity, a bold assertion that technology, when harmonized with the human spirit, can enhance our expressive capabilities rather than diminish them.
