Calin Segal is a computational artist specializing in generative systems. He began his academic journey at the Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris, where he explored robotic manufacturing and digital design. Although initially focused on architecture, his deep interest in computational systems led him to pursue a self-directed career in interactive and generative art.
Through his generative artworks, Calin translates real-world systems into algorithmic forms, uncovering new ways to visualize and relate to the hidden patterns that define our world. He has exhibited his projects on Madrid’s LEV festival and Geneva Mapping Festival, to name a few, and he has been a part of renowned residencies such as V2 in Rotterdam for RIT and VOJEXT S+T+ARTS, among others.
Sculptural Storage Format
Sculptural Storage Formats (SSF) is a methodology that fuses art and information technology to address the fleeting nature of memory in the digital age. SSF reimagines the physical form as a medium for encoding and preserving data, transforming aesthetic elements such as composition, scale, and proportion into carriers of information.
SSF presents both a theoretical and practical framework, proposing a timeless and physical alternative to conventional storage formats. By centering its function on humanity’s intrinsic desire for permanence and preservation, SSF transforms data storage into a meaningful and enduring artistic practice.
