About
TBlake is a UK-based generative artist working primarily with algorithmic drawing systems. His practice explores architectural form as a computational condition; producing speculative interiors and infrastructural constructs that exist within rules-based systems.
With a background in philosophy, data, AI and ethics, TBlake's work is shaped by a sustained interest in how built environments encode power and structure human experience and behaviour. His academic research examines "smart" institutional infrastructures and the ways digital systems consolidate authority within physical space. This concern extends into his visual practice, where architecture is treated not as building but as system.
Each drawing is generated through custom code depicting scenes and constructs which oscillate between density and restraint. Some pieces evoke the infrastructural sublime: overwhelming, layered systems whose scale elicits dread and awe. Others are sparse and liminal.
TBlake's ongoing body of work can be understood as a study of abstract architectural fragments and infrastructural states; an investigation into how systems manifest spatially, and how viewpoint determines experience within them.
Process
All works are generated algorithmically using custom code written in Python and Processing. Each piece begins as a vector drawing; a precise, scalable record of the system's output, with selected works plotted physically to archival paper.
