back in the 1800s, James Vick, a prominent American nursery center based in Rochester, New York, commissioned a painting from Anton Carl Rahn to promote flower and vegetable seeds. this artwork was later reproduced using lithography, a printing technique that allowed for fast and cost-effective reproduction.
fast forward to 2024, with numerous technological advancements and the digital availability of Rahn's original work, enigmatriz intervenes in the piece using digital techniques, specifically incorporating ASCII— a character encoding standard that represents text in computers and other devices—along with a variety of different elements derived from it. by integrating these digital components, enigmatriz aims to create a contrast between the old and the new, blending classic artistry with modern technology to provide a fresh perspective on the original composition.
