Agar is a generative art project inspired by abstract expressionism, pixel art, and the grid rules studied in graphic design. Color, the essential element of pixel art, gives life to simple shapes and defines a composition. Playing against the rigidity of a pixel grid, Agar exuberantly uses 100 different color palettes—each one appearing exactly once in the 100 outputs.
The series embraces the aesthetics of pixel art while reimagining its formal constraints. Instead of using only squares, Agar introduces circles as another basic shape. The squares and circles are arranged on a regular grid, b...
About the artist
Emily Edelman
Drawing on a background in graphic design and the design of physical spaces, Emily’s generative work invents new grid systems and uses simple shapes to uncover what is possible within strict formal constraints. Conversations ensue across scales and between colors, creating optical effects and emergent forms.
Emily’s work explores communication, t...
