Pathways is a concept-artwork by Julien Gachadoat and Vetro Editions. In its complete form, it is the first of its kind: the arts of algorithms coding and book-making coming together in an unparalleled, cutting-edge project. 121 unique covers compose a grid of 11 x 11 books, each one with unique cover. When placed together, they reveal the topography of a fictional map created from imaginary geometric landscapes and abstract parametric urban areas. The map contains several neighborhoods that have unique features depending on their localisation allowing viewers to have a “promenade in the world of Gachadoat’s patterns”.
The presentation and auction for the Special Edition of Pathways was held in April 2023 in London, hosted by verse at Cromwell Place - London (UK)
This page is here to document both the collaboration between the artist and Vetro Editions.
