This computer-generated photograph is from a series of works by Quayola that are computationally derived from his observation of Peter Paul Rubens’s painting, The Tiger Hunt (1615-16), which is located at Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes in France. Quayola’s composition takes the Rubens painting as its source material, and proposes alternative versions of the original painting. “My interest lies in the linguistic differences between an original and an algorithmic representation,” says Quayola. “The complete detachment from historical narratives achieved through computer-vision and abstraction, allowing for a new and unexplored point of view. The focus is on the pure visual coordinates of the painting, and not its inherited subject matter.”

Exhibitions include a 54th Venice Biennale project at the Italian Cultural Institute in London and group exhibitions at the Victoria & Albert Museum, the British Film Institute, and Forum des Image, Paris, among others.
