Image. Image description: A vertical and expressive artistic collage presents a vibrant composition with a textured background in yellow and dark blue ink applied gesturally. In the center of the image, cutouts of birds with long, thin legs stand out: on the left, a bird with reddish plumage and, in the center, a white bird with open wings and a yellowish head turned upwards, which seems to interact with a small mask or floating dark element. The birds are balanced on a large curved orange shape, similar to a bud or shell, that floats horizontally. Below this orange structure, there is a slanted square cutout containing the image of a yellow moon with purple spots. Just to the right, a small rectangular white frame with beveled corners displays a dark purple background. At the top, there is a large cutout shape in light gray and white paper that resembles an architectural structure or abstract silhouette, as well as a partial detail of an animal head in shades of gray in the upper right corner. Large, stylized yellow letters, including the letter

Image. Image description: A digital art rendering that resembles an image made with ASCII characters or large, colorful pixel blocks, with a limited color palette including shades of light gray, blue, purple, and green. The composition vaguely suggests an architectural scene or portal with vertical and horizontal elements contrasting with a lighter area. The shapes are abstract and geometric, composed of small dots and colored blocks, creating a grainy, digitized texture. End of description.

Computational art: producing reticulated images

14 Jan 26 – 28 Jan 26
Image. Image description: A digital or mixed art collage, characterized by a background of vivid and contrasting colors: strong yellow at the top and sides, and vibrant green on the lower sides. In the center, two symmetrical and mirrored human silhouettes in dark green frame a rocky and textured gray shape, upon which there is a piece of turquoise-blue material, which may represent water or a mineral texture. In the central foreground, a large, lobed leaf, intensely red in color and with evident texture, dominates the composition. In the center of this leaf, an almond-shaped cutout reveals a realistic brown human eye, looking directly ahead. Below the red leaf, at the bottom, is a dark black block. The saturated colors, the surreal theme of the eye in the leaf, and the striking symmetry give the work a graphic and eye-catching character. End of description.

Image Description: The image features a colorful abstract artwork divided into two vertical sections, as if they were two pages of a book or a diptych. Left Section: A light pink background predominates, occupying most of the area. Against this background, there is a large, abstract, irregular black shape, extending vertically almost the entire height of the section. This black shape has wavy, organic contours, resembling a silhouette or abstract cutout. To the right of the black shape, and connecting to it at some points, is a smaller, also abstract and organic shape, in a darker shade of pink (fuchsia or magenta). This darker pink shape extends from the bottom to the middle of the section, complementing the composition. Right Section: This section is dominated by a large rectangle in a vibrant shade of magenta or fuchsia. This rectangle is framed by a vertical emerald green border on the left and, discreetly, by a white border on the other ends. In the center of the magenta rectangle is another smaller rectangle in a deep cobalt blue. This blue rectangle, in turn, is framed by a thin, bright lemon-yellow line. Within the blue rectangle is an abstract white shape with soft, curved contours, vaguely resembling a human figure or an organic silhouette. The two sections are side by side, with a slight separation in the middle, and are characterized by flat colors and jagged shapes, reminiscent of the
