Placement by Cooper Jamieson

Six works from the _Placement_ series were on exhibition at the Art Blocks Gallery in Marfa, Texas from May  October, 2022. 

_Placement_ is a series of 500 artworks that are iteratively generated by an algorithm built by the artist. These hard-edge color-fields are visual representations of the underlying code; their color juxtapositions provoke a long look that goes beyond seeing. The frame assists in this process as it emphasizes concentration akin to the design of a digital display. The mechanisms of production  code and silkscreen  fade away to present artworks of pure color projected onto a screen or laid on top of paper. In this way, the artist relates the allure of vivid, saturated ink to the mesmerizing glow of a digital display. Cooper is engaged with themes such as digital materiality and the phenomenological.
