La Gran Nit
In this very special project, The Generative Art Museum brings together wine and art, Mas Geli and Lars Wander, to put art on a very special wine from Empordà, Girona.
About the project
In a continuous effort to unite the physical world with the digital world, Xavier Hernández, passionate about gastronomy and founder of The Generative Art Museum, brought together the Mas Gelí winery and Lars Wander. A union that occurred after discovering Lars work in depth following the exhibition Issue #05: World Wide Art, at the TGAM museum in the metaverse.
In particular, there was one project of Lars that caught Xavier's attention in particular, called "how you see me", according to the artist:
I’m fascinated by our minds ability to pull meaningful figures, narratives, and personas from randomly arranged shapes and colors. “how you see me” explores this phenomena (called “pareidolia”) through a series of computer-generated, human-curated digital artworks.
Each piece is generated purely with code. The code simulates the action of gently stirring blobs of paint via a series of randomly applied strokes. Colors are computed via Kubelka-Munk theory, using spectral coefficients derived from Golden Heavy Body Acrylics provided by the lab of Roy Berns.
The Wine has been nine months in granite egg. To the eye, it is clean and bright, with a straw yellow color of medium intensity. To the nose, it is fresh, dynamic and citrusy. On the palate, its persistent acidity stands out. The fact that it is made from granite eggs gives it that characteristic electric touch, ideal for those who like to be surprised. Minimal intervention wine.
