Generativemasks by Takawo

Honed over the course of several years through Takawo’s “dailycoding” practice beginning in 2015, Generativemasks features symmetrical geometric patterns that speak to generative art’s lush digital and material history. Alluding to the styles of indigenous Japanese culture, the collection highlights generative art’s ancient roots by one of its foremost contemporaries.
