Longing
Longing is a generative landscape series released with Art Blocks Presents in 2023. Developed by Ronen Tanchum and Ori Ben Shabat, the work builds fluid digital environments through code, color, and motion rather than fixed composition.
The system generates atmospheric landscapes from parameters including altitude, atmosphere, topography, and water currents. Each output feels suspended between remembered place and synthetic construction, treating landscape as an emotional condition as much as a visual subject.
The project reflects a recurring studio question: how can code carry a sense of desire, distance, and orientation within nature? Longing answers through a procedural image system that produces variation while preserving a mood of searching, return, and environmental immersion.
