William Mapan Drops Another Algorithmic Art Gem

William Mapan released "Sketchbook A," a generative collection of 64 pieces, as part of the "Intimacy" exhibition via Verse, and the newsletter writer calls the release impressive. The writer says Mapan began with physical drawings made with coloured pencils, sharing the process on social networks before coding them, and argues the algorithmic results look even better and allow for infinite combinations. According to the newsletter, more than 1 million outputs were generated in eight days, and Mapan is the only artist the writer names as having released generative art in a list of galleries and platforms that includes Art Blocks Curated, LACMA, and Sotheby's.
