Lohaus Gallery participates in Luxembourg Art Week 2026, from November 19 to 22, 2026, in the Main Section at Booth A13, with works by Gregor Hildebrandt, Vera Molnár, Janina Roider and Harm van den Dorpel. Shown here are the eight by Harm van den Dorpel.

Five come from "Interruptions", two from "Stained Unravel", and one from the "Anni" series. The algorithms behind all three series are reconstructions of early rule-based work made before the computer, by Anni Albers at the loom and Vera Molnár on the plotter.

The eight run on a single vertical screen, one at a time, three minutes each, in random order. Each is generative software rendering live, so no two passes are identical, and three minutes is long enough to watch the works grow and age.

Rapture

Five unique, fully on-chain NFTs. The series builds on Vera Molnár's Interruptions (begun in the late 1960s): a field of short parallel line segments from which Molnár removed segments at random, opening voids in an otherwise regular grid. Here that field is handed to my "Stained Unravel" algorithm. Segments are compared against their neighbours rotation, touching segments merge into groups that share one colour, and a segment's colour shifts the longer it keeps its orientation. The configuration moves between two registers: every cell reads as a stamped ornament, close to Truchet tiling or to a woven repeat. In the other the individual segments flow into their neighbours and the field organises into streams, fans, the way iron filings settle on a magnetic field or a fluid solver resolves into streamlines. A grid of discrete local rules, run fine enough, approximates what a differential equation describes.

Interruptions

Generative animations built upon a cellular automaton in the tradition of Conway's Game of Life, where a minimal set of rules gives rise to extraordinary complexity, and where death is not failure but the system's natural feature. Presented in collaboration with Nguyen Wahed and Interface Gallery.

Stained Unravel

Anni (sync)

A derivative of <a href='https://harm.work/nft/anni'>Anni</a>, deconstructing its generative logic. Whereas the original scans and builds from top left to bottom right in reference to the process of weaving, this work instead begins in a pristine crystalline state—uniform diagonals, stable configurations—and deteriorates over time. The cellular automaton no longer constructs but corrupts. Triangles lose alignment with their neighbors, and the pattern collapses into decay.
