Biography
Their works are a peculiar symbiosis of art and mathematics, as the duo uses a still little-known technique of photorealistic, colourful string-art.
It is still a young artistic technique, and can be defined as art on the borderline of new media and algorithmic or generative art. Its emergence as a separate category within visual arts was conditioned by the development of technology, since the creative process requires the involvement of the computational power of contemporary computers. Focusing the duo's creative work around this particular technique is a result of searching for new, inspiring forms and means of expression in the field of modern art.
The Vistulart tandem designs their works using their own computer program, based on algorithms developed by Dariusz. The basic assumption of their photorealistic string-art is to create an image only by means of crossing threads. This creates certain limitations due to the method itself, but at the same time gives the works a unique character and style. Each work is created with only three fixed components: a plywood board, several hundred nails placed along its edges, and kilometers of threads in various colors, types, and thicknesses drawn between them, without the use of painting techniques, paints, dyes, etc.
The lack of ready-made tools and the resulting necessity to develop one's own methods make full-color, photorealistic string-art a demanding and labor-intensive technique, which only a few artists in the world have mastered.
