TODAY at 4:30pm PT, Clement Valla 🌱 @clmntvalla 🪨 will talk about his show "Scanners" at bitforms sf during @minnesotastreetproject's First Saturday. "Scanners" presents "Monteverde Costa Rica" from Valla's generative point cloud gardens, a series containing over 30 works. To view each garden by its location, visit pointcloud.garden. Clement Valla's "Point Cloud Gardens" each consist of large sets of data points measured from gardens in a 3D scanning process. Each data point consists of spatial [XYZ] and color [RGB] information. The resulting data set is a discontinuous translation of a surface into discrete data points, filled with gaps and missing information. This compressed translation emphasizes certain ways in which humans experience a garden; as an aggregation of leaves, petals, stalks and stems, a set of discontinuous points forming an overall texture. Software works from this series are available with NFT registration.
