Rerun Nature

The serie Aftertouch is a continuation of Julien Discrit's work on self-generated forms. The artist uses a process of molding and imprinting, which, by contact, allows him to obtain random forms. These arborescences, or "dendrites", recall forms discernible in many physical and natural phenomena such as neural networks, veins, plants... or geographical as in erosion and hydrographic networks. Motifs already present in other series of the artist such as the États inversés and Mille Mississippi.
The title Aftertouch evokes the imprinting process used, since the forms are self-generated after contact, and also refers to sound, more precisely to electronic keyboards and synthesizers, the "aftertouch" being an effect that plays on the sensitivity of expression of the key of a keyboard to create a variation of note.
