COVIMETRY is an exhibition organised by Mark Starel, the creator of Discursive Geometry. The exhibition has 3 editions, both actual and virtual.
Discursive Geometry is a trend in contemporary geometric art, the feature of which is the ability to enter into discourses other than its own.
From the Covimetry Art Project Introduction:
"The name COVIMETRY comes from the combination of two words: COVID (Corona Virus Desease) and GEOMETRY (any trend in geometric art: constructivist, hard edge, minimal art, op-art, concrete art, non-objective art, discursive geometry and others).
About 300 artists from over 40 countries in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia take part in the project. The number of participants and countries continues to grow.
The starting theme of all the work is an anti-virus mask template. The presented works have been realized in various techniques and technologies, such as: drawing, painting, graphics, collage, object, photography, mix media, computer animation, video."
My contribution made use of a quote from Laurie Anderson "Language Is a Virus".
