Sergio Lombardo's V-RAN MCCT Stochastic Compositions at 1/9unosunove, Rome
1/9unosunove presents Sergio Lombardo's fifth solo exhibition at Palazzo Santacroce in Rome, featuring large-scale V-RAN MCCT Stochastic Compositions. The works, measuring up to 300 × 600 cm, are polychrome minimal prototypes generated by the V-RAN algorithm, which randomly displaces vertices. Lombardo's research, begun in 1990 on stochastic maps inscribed on tiles, evolved from bichromatic S-RAN modules in the 1990s to SAT algorithm polychrome units in the early 2000s. The MCCT acronym stands for Minimal, Compact, Complete, and Toroidal, describing the floor patterns that saturate the pictorial surface without redundancies or gaps. The exhibition runs until June 21, 2026, and marks a turning point in Lombardo's Stochastic Painting, applying V-RAN to achieve aesthetic engineering—using mathematical tools to generate beauty beyond intuition.
