I recognised some of the grids were moirΓ©s that I've come across exploring the gears, so I tried to find a way to incorporate some colour into my own work and learned something new!@camillerouxart@gmdaostudio@MatthieuArt https://t.co/7LmHefjOt2 pic.twitter.com/lr2MyM3zO3

As soon as I saw previews of this collection teased by @gmdaostudio I instantly fell in love - but I didn't know why. I've pined over the countless WIP & sneak peak outputs for weeks until only just this morning during a Q&A in the @gmDAOeth⦠pic.twitter.com/dpDoRJ4vYq

πΈ#generativeart is something abstract for many people. It's often mistakenly thought of as just computer scientists having fun. π»

I can't win of course but I couldn't resist the idea of participating to our contest.
