EVENT: EXPLORING ENTROPY IN THE DIGITAL SPACE W. GENERATIVE ART

EVENT is a long-form generative art collection by visionary conceptual artist
Bernar Venet. Five hundred algorithmic digital outputs explore the interplay of
chance and unpredictability in the digital realm in Venet’s signature style,
building upon his seven-decade practice of probing these themes through
sculpture, painting, drawing, poetry, sound, design, and photography.

EXPLORING THE LINE: A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO ART

Bernar Venet’s artistic practice incorporating the use of Scientific Language
and mathematics as representation in conceptual art led to the development of a
systematic approach to art that explored the line's potential across mediums.
This system focused on straight lines, broken lines (angle), and curved lines,
eventually evolving to incorporate points, saturated lines, and the infamous
Indeterminate lines seen around the world in the forms of steel sculptures,
paintings, reliefs, and more. 

"The formulation of objective methods marks the most advanced procedures of
Conceptual art and, consequently, become sources of knowledge that art had never
hitherto been able to claim. To this end, these developments are quick to refer
to other disciplines - scientific disciplines - in which they find models. The
way this knowledge is formulated and presented (and this presentation does not
compulsorily correspond to a visual arrangement) no longer fulfills, in a
concern for rigor, anything except a standard of functional pertinence to the
research carried out by the artist. All aesthetic or stylistic exploitation has
vanished.

Since his first purely conceptual pieces of 1966, Bernar Venet has passed
through the crucial stages enabling art to make these developments. He is among
the first to have originated a profound transformation of the function of art."

—Catherine Millet
Introduction to: « Bernar Venet: the didactic function of Conceptual art,» by
Catherine Millet, published in Art International, December 1970


ART'S EVOLUTION IN THE 1960S: SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE AND MATHEMATICS AS A NEW
CONCEPTUAL CANVAS

Bernar Venet began the conceptual exploration of Scientific Language and
mathematics as conceptual representations in art, developing a systematic
approach to his practice that spans mediums from sculpture, and performance, to
poetry and photography. Bernar is regarded as one of the most influential
conceptual artists of our age and has continuously influenced the progressive
definition of art.



EFFONDREMENT: THE ACCIDENT, ENTROPY, AND THE INTRODUCTION OF SYSTEMATIC
RANDOMNESS

In 1996, Bernar Venet, through chance exploration, created his first
Effondrement composition. Steal machete Lines were stacked against a wall by
Bernar; one steal line slipped and fell into the second into the third, and in a
moment's time, an accident had created an undeniably  unique composition
comprised of randomly sorted lines. This accident began a more than two-decade
exploration of systematic entropy as it refers to a measure of disorder,
randomness, or uncertainty that results from the steel's natural response to
gravity and the order and force of Bernar vision.

“It's a battle between the steal and me”

-Bernar Venet


MULTI-MEDIA, DIGITAL ART, & THE EXPANSION INTO GENERATIVE ART

In 1970, Bernar Venet installed “Stock Market TV,” the first multimedia
installation at the MOMA for the Information Exhibition. It was removed by the
head curator because the sound and appearance were too progressive for the time.
The piece was noted as disturbing to the rest of the exhibition as the reason
for its removal. A groundbreaking moment opened the door for the new media
movement in future generations.

In 2023, Bernar Venet expanded his systematic exploration of Science and
Mathematics in conceptual art with ISOTOPE, an immersive simulation and the
first generative art installation by Bernar Venet. Inspired by his early
conceptual work, the project explores the tangible meaning of recent research on
diffeomorphism by Mathematician Etienne Ghys. Similar to his earlier Diagrams
(1966), he incorporated the unambiguous language of mathematics into a
completely new form of image-making.
