Verloop – Dégradé begins with a creative exchange between Rik Oostenbroek's artistic vision and David Aerne's generative systems. First, Oostenbroek carefully crafted his signature gradients by hand. Aerne then created custom algorithms to transform these gradients into dynamic digital compositions. Through various iterations, the algorithm generated variations that kept the original essence while creating fresh interpretations.
The gradients were handpicked by Oostenbroek from numerous algorithmic outputs for the book edition (premiered at the Paris Photo 2024 Art Fair in Grand Palais). He selected them based on their beauty, striking contrasts, or unexpected elements that caught his eye.
