Anna Lucia

Anna Lucia is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the intersection of craft and computation. Her practice involves writing custom software that generates abstract compositions and creating textile works using an embroidery machine, translating traditional craft techniques into algorithmic systems. By integrating randomness in her algorithms, Anna Lucia establishes a mediumistic dialogue between the artist and the computer; and accelerates the exploration of her self-designed systems. Her work includes generative systems on the blockchain, browser-based animations, machine-assisted textile works, and tattoos, each medium revealing its inherent aesthetics. She collaborated with the Gee’s Bend Quilters to produce a heritage algorithm of their quilts and she was invited to be part of The First 15 artists to contribute to the MoMa Postcard project. Anna Lucia’s work has been exhibited internationally in various shows, including Human + Machines (Art Basel Miami 2021), Artists Who Code (Vellum LA, 2022), Bright Moments (Mexico, 2022), Cure^3 (Bonhams London, 2023), Dimensionality (Untitled Art Fair, 2023), Dimensions of Digitization (CCAM Yale, 2024).
