Anna Carreras’ generative art often challenges the conventional aesthetics of the medium by generating visual outputs that are both abstract and referential, organic and artificial. Her color palette and aesthetics reveal a closer look at Mediterranean craftsmanship and landscape. “Ganxillo” is a generative piece inspired by her grandmother’s practice of crochet textiles. Like crocheting, coding is a step-by-step handcraft, creating patterns and drawings from small geometrical stitches—a never ending, repetitive process; a mantra that generates beauty. When you observe the resulting patterns, several abstract images may emerge, becoming the starting point for new narratives and memories. Press numbers and keys, or click your mouse, to discover the piece’s interactive elements.
