Aesthetics of feasibility and the search for atmosphere.
Matthias Jäger encounters technical limitations of computers with creative code. Every image is created by executing a set of predefined rules in the form of language, a code, or a mechanism. The rules consider automated examinations of user input data such as text, pixel data of images, gestures or computer generated data. He designs his rules in such a way that teaches “the roughness of paint” to a machine.

Errors and exceptions
Matthias Jäger does not write error-free algorithms. None of his works is tested. Little mistakes are part of the process. Loosely grouped, misleading instructions to the machine lead to beautiful geometric shapes. Names and numbers grow to be defined shapes on the canvas. At the right moment he stops the process and develops a picture, that can be shared, liked and collected.
