Instructions for Initial Conditions is a visual communications project that investigates the idea of how instructions-based fabrication can create a distance between the artist’s conscious decision and the realised artwork. Instructions for Initial Conditions is a visual communications project that investigates the idea of how instructions-based fabrication can create a distance between the artist’s conscious decision and the realised artwork.

It seeks to explore whether fixed sets of rule/instructions can have vastly unpredictable results, and question if uniqueness can be derived from precision and fixed rules.
