QQL: Analogs

With Hobbs' continued interest in the evolving relationship between humans and computers, 

 explores how our increasingly digital reality transforms our view of the world. The series reflects this shift, focusing on the deep integration of human creativity with computational processes. Rather than seeking surface-level interactions with computers, Hobbs aims to establish a meaningful connection with algorithms, allowing the human experience to emerge through digital mediation.

Throughout the creative process, Hobbs crafts code and drawings simultaneously, allowing them to coevolve. The algorithm is written with the drawing in mind, and the drawing, in turn, is shaped by the code. Neither exists independently; they are intertwined from the start. By immersing himself in both aspects of this process, he centers the relationship between hand and machine, producing work that embodies the union of human and digital elements—just as modern life increasingly reflects this convergence.
