An algorithm inspired by the classifieds section of old newspapers

Before social media, people would use classified ads to find services, jobs, and even partners. The charm of this medium for me was its brevity, akin to a tweet where you had limited characters to describe yourself, your service, or your request. Despite its basic functionality, the columns and rows, font size, and occasional clipart created density throughout the page that I found interesting to look at.

The algorithm uses a grid ranging from 3x3 to 20x20, with each cell further divided within the same range. Each cell represents an individual listing, and instead of text, it's randomly filled with polygons to create varying densities. The resulting outputs range from near-identical to more free-form.

*Navette* explores a juxtaposition of the virtual and reality by fusing a digital generative process and a physical loom. This collection offers a voyage between the worlds, a shuttle weaving between the two. Using a combination of digital techniques adapted for the physical world, *Navette* plays with the notions of series and unique pieces, but also of the inherent randomness of the digital realm—featuring the infamous “glitch.” Generative art thus becomes a way of taking a shuttle to the edge of a new universe…

I know a place where women dance naked, they laugh, they smile, play music and never worry about anything.

'nth culture' takes inspiration from the textile heritage of my maternal homeland of Bamenda, Cameroon. Toghu and Ndop fabrics are rich in meaning, using a selection of motifs, colour palettes, patterns, and compositions that have lineages to specific places and traditions.

This collection is a celebration of identity, abstracting interwoven narratives of textile heritage through generative coding to reflect the experience of children of the diaspora; living lives in spaces between multiple cultural worlds. nth culture explores the concept of 'Third Culture' and reflects on the unique diversity of personal identity.

'translucent panes' is an experimental p5.js project utilising mathematical randomness as a basis for abstract generative art creation. Similar to my 'blocccles' project, the core aesthetic is centred on colour blending & simple geometry.

The program starts by randomly selecting a divisor of the canvas width & height and forming a grid of rectangles. There is then an 80% chance that these rectangles will be rotated by a randomly selected angle ranging from -180 to 180 degrees. The shape is then either assigned a solid fill colour or is rendered empty with a border width of 1 to 5 pixels.

Spicing up the outputs is a selection of 14 palettes, each holding 2 to 8 colours for the algorithm to pick from. There is a 30% chance of an output having a dark background, and 7 of 14 palettes are limited to lighter backgrounds.

During development I came across a bug which meant rectangles would render taller than anticipated, I liked it, so I kept it in. The extra shapes round the project up nicely as they collide with each other leaving a beautiful mix of colours and geometry. For fun, I also added a 40% probability of circles showing in the output.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

"1337 was made to symbolize hope and alliance through growth and displacement. This work was created in Touch Designer using a 3D displacement algorithm. A still of the work was minted in collaboration with Fortune Magazine and featured as the cover art for Fortune's April/May 2023 issue titled 'Crypto Climbs Back From The Worst Year Ever."

**"aaa"** is a generative art system inspired by abstract artists such as *Jackson Pollock*, *Brice Marden*, and *Kazimir Malevich*. Abstract art appeals to me over other forms because it compels the viewer to use their imagination. You could argue that this art form is like a mirror, a pieces perception being reflective of it’s observer. Similar to how red can symbolize anger, love, and danger. An abstract piece can evoke a multitude of feelings. I believe this to be a unique value of abstract art.

While a human can choose a colour to communicate a feeling, a machine lacks the cognitive ability to do so. Therefore, the program uses randomized probabilities in an attempt to create a wide array of styles. I have taken reference from the drawing styles of *K Malevich*, *Piet Mondrian*, *Brice Marden*, and *Joan Mitchell*. The styles demonstrated by these artists range from symmetric to loose and erratic, combined with 32 colour palettes compiled through experimentation and inspiration.

Generations is a collaboration between generative artist Anna Lucia and the quilters of Gee's Bend. Anna Lucia developed an algorithm to craft a series of digital quilts inspired by the iconic patchworks of the Quilters of Gee's Bend. 

 In the 19th century, enslaved plantation workers of Gee's Bend, Alabama, crafted one of the most important living legacies in American art history. Isolated from outside influences by an Alabama River cul-de-sac, the community incubated a staggeringly unique found fabric quilting tradition echoing African textile patterns. These stunning abstract designs would become widely regarded as modern art masterpieces, defiantly voicing a rich intergenerational narrative. Gee's Bend quilts have been collected extensively by prominent museums, inspiring high-profile homage from official First Lady portraiture to acclaimed runway shows. 

 Four quilters, Louisiana Bendolph, Loretta Petway Bennett, Essie Bendoplhe Pettway, and the estate of Lucy Pettway-namely her daughter and fellow quilter Mary Margaret- shared their process with Anna Lucia. Who, in turn, created an algorithm to generate digital quilts that share key elements with the source yet are unique and surprising in their own way. The quilters collaborated on curating the 500 unique digital quilts that make up the Generations collection.

"Rubicon" is the imaginary gate that awaits us after our journey, a portal that moves continuously for a state of self-reflection before opening and letting us through. 

What awaits us on the other side? Will it be something good? We don't know; perhaps there's nothing, perhaps there's something, but what's certain is that we can't stay any longer where we stand and must cross to the other side despite the aftermath.

In life, we're used to living with dilemmas we don't like to face, even when they destroy us. And it's not until we decide to cross the line that our situations change. There's no turning back, just moving forward — as Julius Caesar knew when crossing the Rubicon river. 

_Will you cross that line?_

"Caminos" es la relación del trabajo de artista con el uso de colores y geometría a través de los los patrones, situaciones, personas y objetos en los mercados, las calles, los edificios, los colores y demás elementos que consituyen la ciudad. Esta obra es un tributo a esa cultura, similar a una ciudad que se va creando mediante capas, dando como resultado un caos formado a partir del color, de diversas geometrías y más elementos que van cambiando a través del tiempo.

La composicición final de este proyecto es conformada por 5 capas que van creandose con el paso de los segundos dentro de la obra. Con las teclas 1 - 5 puedes interactuar con cada capa que va generando la composición final dando la posibilidad al usuario de tener 5 piezas dentro de una obra, pero sobre todo generar una experiencia que le permita tomarse el tiempo necesario para explorar, encontrar, disfrutar distintos patrones y elementos dentro de cada capa y dentro de la composición final. Asi como explorar la ciudad, sus distintos espacios, situaciones y cambios con el paso de los años.

*Color Streams* is a return to my origins both personally and creatively. Simple gradients across color fields with the generative paint texture I love so much. These outputs remind me of simpler times and give me hope for our collective future.

I am happy to partner with Bright Moments to bring these outputs to collectors as part of their Artist in Residence program. Available IRL at Bright Moments galleries and events around the world for the month of December 2022.

The central theme of this series, featuring recursive divisions of circles and polygons, originated from sketches in September 2022. As is often the case for me, my sketches begin without a vital purpose, taking on a fluid and undefined quality. They resemble malleable clay, combining and reworking multiple small ideas until mutable elements and immutable structures emerge. I have crafted the present collection of works by refining and developing these structures, pushing them as far away from the original image as possible while ensuring coherence.

Incorporating a color palette inspired by traditional Japanese dyes, shading techniques mindful of harmony, and methods such as circle packing and transformation builds upon the foundation of my previous work. However, this new collection consciously explores the concepts of convergence and divergence within and beyond the canvas. Furthermore, I have created a unique and remarkable series by envisioning their display in a traditional Japanese residence, such as the historic Asakura House.

The theme of this work is fireworks and festivals, which symbolizes summer in Japan.

With fireworks as the central theme, it consists of the water surface reflecting the fireworks, the city lights in the distance, the silhouettes of the torii gates and arch bridge, and the twinkling lanterns. The shady black background expresses the smoky atmosphere.

The drawing algorithm of the work is inspired by traditional woodblock prints and contemporary scratch art. Base layer is drawn with pale watercolor-like gradation. On top of that, the shady black background is drawn. Then, the outline of the fireworks is carved out.

The color of fireworks is based on a chemical reaction called a flame reaction. The color palette of this work is also composed of typical flame reaction colors or their mixtures. Each color palette is inspired by the four seasons in Japan.

Enjoy the atmosphere of Japanese firework festivals with this work.

Flavour: corn flakes, ink with hint of The Velvet Underground.

Inspired by the sculpture "US Candy", 2015. @aspencrow
