A letter drawn in a grid stops being a word
and becomes a field of blocks.
I am an Iranian-born artist working at the intersection of
classical textile logic and generative systems. My work
begins with a simple observation: the woven surface —
repetitive, mathematically structured, infinitely variable —
has always been a form of computation, long before computers.
Genuary Word takes the seven letters of
the word GENUARY and rebuilds them as pixel grids — each
letter a 5 × 7 matrix of ones and zeros. Each cell is
then rendered as a block: a rectangle, a circle, or a
rounded square, chosen once per composition.
Behind the letters: a hand-rolled gradient background
drawn as a hundred and fifty hairlines, plus film grain
applied across the whole canvas. The result reads as
poster — half typographic, half painted. Each
piece is defined by a numeric seed and can be regenerated,
documented, and adapted for textile, print, and surface
applications.
On AI tools — where I encountered technical
obstacles, I turned to AI tools for debugging and code
optimization. Every structural, aesthetic, and conceptual
decision remained my own.
