Ode to Contrapuntos, or Remembrance
Some artworks are still mysteries to me, and Contrapuntos is one of them. It was this piece that made me fall in love with generative art.

And yet it turned out to be the most challenging piece to describe in writing. As I looked at it, thoughts and words vanished and a sense of joyful silence filled my mind. As much as I wanted to share it, I struggled to find the right words.
Issue Zero Ontological Ratatouille
OR is an independent, unapologetic and irreverent publication without an established periodicity.

Why are we collecting? And other challenging questions, ranging from the epistemological to the downright uncomfortable.
