Artist William Mapan will present **Paysages Plausibles**, a solo exhibition at Art Basel 2026 in Switzerland (June 16-21) at booth Zero 10. The exhibition showcases algorithmic art that creates imaginary landscapes through overlapping shapes, textures, and digital layers using nature-inspired pigments. **Key details:** - Nine months of development combining traditional sketchpad work with computational design - Multiple formats on display: hand-painted oil works, plotter drawings, and a live generator - Visitors can purchase selected outputs and have them plotted on-site The project bridges digital and physical art forms, demonstrating how algorithmic logic can translate across different mediums.
Kazuhiro Tanimoto's Rain Blooms Opens in Tokyo Tomorrow
**Rain Blooms**, a new work by Kazuhiro Tanimoto, debuts as an immersive physical exhibition at the neort gallery in Tokyo on May 15. The project explores evolution through pixels operating as living cells, using a cellular automaton system where cells interact, merge, and react to create unpredictable visual and auditory events. Following the Tokyo exhibition, Tanimoto will release **128 digital works** on [Art Blocks Studio](https://www.artblocks.io) on May 21. This marks Tanimoto's return to Art Blocks three years after his curated project *Memories of Digital Data*, which is now part of the AB500 permanent collection. While that earlier work meditated on data deterioration and loss, Rain Blooms experiments with data as a metaphor for life and evolution.
