I am writing a self-portrait on which I am writing a self-portrait: Seamus Ray and his recursion
Categories: Culture | Social Networks | World
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/i-am-writing-a-self-portrait-on-which-i-am-writing-a-self-portrait-seamus-ray-and-his-recursion.htmlArtist Seamus Ray has created a series of recursive self-portraits. Are you familiar with the concept of recursion? This is a kind of cycle — the object is inside itself and repeats an infinite number of times. Outside of computer science or mathematics, and in something visually creative, recursion samples are visual and extremely entertaining.
Seamus Ray has launched a self-study in which he draws self-portraits, in which he is depicted drawing a self-portrait on the previous day. Each time such a portrait becomes more difficult, but Ray copes by collecting a large number of likes on Instagram.
So Ray first drew himself, then drew himself drawing himself. This model continued three more times, culminating in a multi-layered final portrait with a white cat.
"I am writing a self-portrait, on which I am writing a self-portrait. Oil on canvas".
"I have depicted on canvas how I write my self-portrait, on which I write my self-portrait. Oil on canvas".
"I have depicted on canvas how I write my self-portrait, where I write my self-portrait, on which I write my self-portrait. Oil on canvas".
"I have depicted on canvas how I write my self-portrait, where I write my self-portrait, on which I write my self-portrait, where I write my self-portrait. Oil on canvas".
"I depicted myself drawing my self-portrait, where I draw my self-portrait, drawing my self-portrait, on which I draw my self-portrait, drawing my self-portrait. Oil on canvas".
And here he depicted on canvas in the form of a meme the reaction of the network to his self-portraits
And again recursion…
