Rayner works with the medium of computer code and mathematics to express human emotion: an unlikely approach to a heart led artistic practice. However the artist insists algorithmic art is a direct craft, even a modern extension of drawing and painting that can be explored with expressionistic intent. Central to the compositions are voluminous stacked forms inspired by Moore and Léger's cubist figures which press and recoil in convulsed poses. Shrouding and veiling these assembled figures are cascades of color. Rayner envisions these as great lamenting outflows. At its deepest level all color and form in these works are algebra, logic and geometry. Participants at Art Basel are invited to co-create never-seen-before artworks by effectively seeding the art-making process with random numbers. The result is a kind of collective synesthesia where numbers have a direct expression as form, color and texture, experienced through the artist’s vision defined in code.
