Art made in code

I'm Ulrich Frerk. I don't draw these pictures. I write the programs that draw them.

MULTIVERSE MAP by Ulrich Frerk: 77 films drawn as a transit map, every storyline a coloured line. Low-resolution watermarked preview.

Artist statement

My art is made in code. Every line, every colour and every label is placed by a program I write, with AI as my studio assistant, and every fact in a piece is researched and sourced. The artwork generates the code; the code generates the artwork.

I'm also a DJ and producer, Mr Mel, so a lot of my code ends up being about music. More about me.
