Anna Lucia

Bio

Born (1991) in Wageningen, The Netherlands and currently living in Berlin, Germany.

Anna Lucia is an artist exploring the intersection of code and craft. Her practice involves writing custom software that generates art and creating textile works using an embroidery machine; translating traditional craft techniques into algorithmic systems. By integrating randomness, Anna Lucia establishes a mediumistic dialogue between the artist and the computer; and accelerates the exploration of her self-designed systems. Her body of work includes generative systems on the block-chain, browser-based animations, machine-assisted textile works, and tattoos, each medium revealing its inherent aesthetics.
