Random Control is a series of algorithmically generated compositions developed for the Playground exhibition in Montpellier. Each 50x50 cm digital print is created from the same custom shader script—a fragment of code capable of producing an infinite array of visual permutations. Despite their shared origin, each image is entirely unique, highlighting the creative potential of generative design.

Arranged as a grid, the series evokes a variety of archetypal urban architectures: the compact sprawl of medinas, the vertical density of favelas, the ambition of utopian towers, and the raw materiality of brutalist housing blocks. Through geometric abstraction, Random Control pays homage to the complexity and diversity of urban environments, reimagined through the lens of computational aesthetics.

Blending code-based creation with formal rigor, the work functions as both a portrait of the contemporary city and a meditation on digital architecture. It explores how algorithmic processes can reveal new, poetic orders within seemingly chaotic systems of spatial organization.

By bridging urban theory, visual art, and creative coding, Random Control captures the evolving dialogue between technology and city-making—offering a visual language for the algorithmic city of the digital age.
