Algorithmic lineages
Joanie Lemercier
Algorithmic landscape, plotting duration, and the material time of ink.
About
Joanie Lemercier’s Paysages Possibles is a plotter-and-pen-on-paper project begun in 2018. The studio describes an algorithm guiding a pen through hundreds of lines until relief-like forms emerge; drawings accumulate as sections of a larger panorama. The page credits Joanie Lemercier for conception and visuals, with photography by Lemercier and Boudewijn Bollman. [1]
Why they matter here. For Algorithmics, it shows why duration matters: an algorithm may define a landscape, but the plotter’s paced accumulation of ink makes the work physical.
