Happy Accidents
IED Kunsthal Bilbao - Student: Álvaro Quecedo
Academic year
2023/2024
As the production of artificial intelligence is perfected, a field of exploration has emerged that challenges previously established aesthetic conventions and moves away from the pursuit of a “perfect” creation. In this context, error and imperfection are embraced as inherent components of human production. They become a conscious statement, and thus, a visual language that assumes “accidents” as an essential part of artistic expression.
This Final Degree Project in Graphic Design by student Álvaro Quecedo delves into the development of an RCS or “Randomised Controlled System”, which aims to become an experimentation lab tool for the creative process through the accident as a way of doing. In this way, the accident becomes a key tool, triggering a dialogue between the human and the machine.
‘Happy Accidents’ includes a website, available here.
