A dual series is coming!
"(Un)confined" & "Confined"
A print and digital release in collaboration with @V_and_A and @avant_arte
Can't wait for you to explore all the outputs :)
Coming on November 24.
More details here 👇 #generativeart
Introducing ‘(Un)confined’, a new work created for Digital Art Season at the @V_and_A by @williamapan.
William visited the museum’s collection and found inspiration in the work of Harold Cohen, a pioneer of generative art. The resulting artwork is now available as a signed limited edition print, ‘(Un)confined’, and a digital generative NFT collection, ‘Confined’.
Sold separately, so you can collect either or both. Collect now: avantarte.co/william-mapan-V…
definitely not trusting this app to not fuck the video up so I’ve put together few more outputs here

Bonjour 👋
I’ve been working on something new following a visit to the @V_and_A with @mattdesl.
We were introduced to the museum's collection by the curators, and I found myself thinking about how artists have used computation to explore form, colour and space.
Those conversations became the starting point for a new work, created with @avant_arte for the V&A's Digital Art Season and the upcoming Vera Molnar exhibition.
Also, biggest kudos to @proofofgail ♥️

This week.
William Mapan at @ArtBasel 2026
Paysages Plausibles is built around a single founding principle: design the rules, then let the unpredictable emerge. The work is the result of nine months of research into texture, form, and space. From this foundation, @williamapan's algorithm generates surrealist theaters and scenographies — each landscape unique, each a world of its own.

Bonjour bonjour 👋
I am presenting Paysages Plausibles and Dances on Shadows next week at @ArtBasel with @artblocks_io
(Sector ZERO 10, Booth Z13.)
A search into texture, form, color and space built from code, manifested as paintings and live plotted drawings.
More bits in 🧵👇
5/6
Last but not least,
"Paysages Plausibles: Dances on Shadows" (DOS).
DOS is a live plotter installation running at the booth and online: you choose the iteration, the machine draws it in front of you.
It explores the relationship and energy within a given plausible landscape through its darks and lights.
The physical form is made of 2 (DOS 🥁) layers.
Pen and oil pastel on paper, 24 × 30 cm.
Every work unique.
NFT+ plotter drawing.
(10 available for people who can’t attend Basel in person. If you’re interested, contact @artblocks via sales@artblocks.io or @hugopouch, rest will be available on location )

With this presentation I hope to convey the multi facets of my practice and how they all talk to each other.
Code, to me, does manifest in multiple ways.
Thank you @ArtBasel @artblocks_io @eli_schein @trevorpaglen for this opportunity !
Come visit us @artblocks_io,
Art Basel.
Sector ZERO 10, Booth Z13.
See you all there :)
