“David Pereira is a London-based artist who uses light as his primary medium, embracing chance as a central element in his creative process and allowing the unforeseen to take shape. In his cameraless series Colour Correspondence, he approaches colour from a synthetic perspective, using a custom machine-learning model to generate light, which is then captured on photosensitive paper in the colour darkroom. The model begins by randomly generating an initial colour, from which a second, corresponding colour is selected. This dynamic between randomness and control resulted in over 16 million colour pairings, revealing the ongoing tension between unpredictability and structure.” Aesthetica Art Prize
