Creating Eternal Art Through Code — Mandarin Daily News

A profile in the Mandarin Daily News. It notes he was born in 1995 and makes generative art with code, using the image of a painter imagining hundreds of starry nights to explain generative work as the sum of those possibilities. The piece traces his self-taught coding at lunch breaks in primary school, digital creation contests at secondary school, a stint as a software engineer, graduate study in integrated digital media at New York University, and the pandemic years when code became a journal and produced more than two hundred works. It closes on Soul Fish.
