Okazz

Okazz is a generative artist and creative coder based in Tokyo, Japan. He began programming after discovering the Processing platform and quickly became interested in code as a tool for visual expression. Self-taught and consistent in his practice, he has produced hundreds of works using p5.js, developing a style built on repetition, structure, and motion. Influences from anime, manga, and Japanese subcultures run through his work, often in subtle or abstracted form.

Okazz builds systems that invite structure while leaving room for surprise. He uses code to create within frameworks like grids, modular shapes, and specific movement patterns to explore rhythm, variation, and emotion. His art is dynamic and engaging, with variations that draw the viewer in and invite closer attention. This approach is evident in projects like Square Symphony, 2023, commissioned by Bright Moments Tokyo, which uses a grid and eight types of movement to explore control and unpredictability. In KUMALEON, a fully on-chain PFP project, Okazz uses SVG to generate over 1,000 characters that combine kawaii style with generative logic. Other works like the SLSL series and Unstable move between soft gradients, dense grids, and fluid linework, all showing his curiosity about how code can express emotion. Through his work, Okazz explores how far code can express emotion and cultural storytelling.
