Rococo
Rococo is a generative painting system developed by Ronen Tanchum and Ori Ben Shabat for A Nature of My Own, Tanchum's solo exhibition at Post Gallery.
Across a five-screen installation and editioned outputs, botanical growth, ornament, and painterly excess become continuous code-based image generation.

Long Description
Rococo is a generative painting system developed by Ronen Tanchum and Ori Ben Shabat. Presented in A Nature of My Own, Tanchum's solo exhibition at Post Gallery, the work translates botanical growth, ornament, and painterly excess into code-based image generation.
Across a five-screen installation and editioned outputs, flowers behave as systems of growth rather than fixed images. The software processes vegetal structures into continuous variations of luminous digital painting, where color, motion, and decoration remain unstable and alive.
The project is central to the studio's botanical language. It connects historical ornament to real-time computation, using code not as a neutral production tool but as a way to build images that unfold, mutate, and hold the tension between nature and artificiality.
