Description
Four square skies, each a cloud that never existed. Nuages Possibles is a generative project Lemercier released on fxhash in 2023 with fellow plotter artist Quentin Hocde: "an algorithm is imagining more and more variations of those skyscapes in an infinite quest for the perfect cloud." It was the first fxhash project to use the redeemable module — every one of the hundred iterations could be redeemed as a physical plotter drawing, a robot laying down thousands of dots of white ink on black paper, pointillism by machine. These are iterations #30, #31, #33, and #34, framed together.
