*Circles* is a generative script composed on a letter-sized piece of paper (8.5” x 11”). While *circles* is a digital artwork, the material of the piece refers to the dithering found when printing on common b/w laser printers. Each output is a step by step guide on how to draw a circle ... programmatic interferences of time and light distort each attempt to render a circle(s), creating compositions of imperfection with hopes to create something new.

*Circles* is part of the group exhibition *Imperfections*. Through a series of long form projects by generative artists, this exhibition explores the role imperfections play in great artworks, and how the pursuit of artistic perfection appears to be a paradoxical endeavour.
