Eko33 presented by DANAE

For NFC 2026, DANAE presented Calculated Skies, a solo project by Eko33 curated by Marlène Corbun.

At the core is a generative infinity room: a 2x2m mirrored environment where light, code, and reflection interact continuously. Visitors move through a landscape of shifting reflections and algorithmically generated forms, encountering their own image suspended within a constantly evolving visual field. The same codebase produces a series of twenty unique works rendered as GLSL shaders at 20,000px square. Two of them are shown in Lisbon as large-scale lightboxes.

The work draws on a long history of optical inquiry, from Euclid's geometries to Ibn al-Haytham's theories of vision, and echoes the immersive environments of Yayoi Kusama and the perceptual investigations of James Turrell. What Eko33 adds is the open-ended logic of computational systems: forms that never repeat, spaces that keep generating.

Jean-Jacques Duclaux has been developing this practice since 1999, when he built his first digital works on a portable Commodore SX-64. His work has been shown at Art Basel, the Seoul Museum of Art, and the Venice Biennale.
