when kicking off the project, @TransientLabs asked me if I work with generative art, because the idea involved a large number of artworks to be created “I'm no coder" I said, “but biting off more than I can chew is my way of working; I'll do it manually.” so one-by-one, I threw pixels on a canvas, broke them, animated them, refined the colors and swapped textures; with intention, until each felt right on top of that, I pull out my Wacom tablet, sampled parts of the gifs and hand-drew the w0rms, there is something deeply personal and human in that gesture imo so yeah, this was ambitious, but im here for that alright, I went a bit mad at one point, felt like I was myself turning into a robot but looking back now I feel its even more pertinent to the core idea of the project “I used to make art for humans” going live on October 15th check out artforhumans(dot)xyz
