September 2016
After presenting a series of paintings composed using algorithms to control color choices through logical sequences of permutations, New York artist Nicholas Knight offered a workshop to students in Social Practice Queens at Queens College and Spitzer School of Architecture, City College (MFA co-directed by Chloé Bass and Gregory Sholette). In the continuity of his diagrammatic wall drawings composed using grammar learning methods in Anglo-American countries, he proposed to develop a tree structure based on the random permutations of Alison Knowles' poem.
