Digitalizing Akira Minagawa

2022 – ongoing, Digital animation

Akira Minagawa is famous for his insistence on using a hand-drawing process for his textile design.

I created algorithms to try to recreate similar textile textures from purely 0s and 1s, questioning the possibility of digital media and asking the following questions: Can we recreate everything digitally? If so, does it also means that the “real” world we are in can also be another kind of “digital”?
