Description

Okazz’s Resonant Echo pays homage to Untitled (Red Tree), a 1972 work by pioneering Japanese generative artist Hiroshi Kawano that merged algorithmic logic with the bold geometries of Mondrian. Like Kawano, Okazz explores the tension between structure and spontaneity, but here through motion and constant renewal.

Coded in p5.js, the Resonant Echo series builds and dismantles modular compositions in real time. In Resonant Echo #28, a grid of multicolored squares continually reorganizes itself: pixels sprout directional lines, glide along their axes, and disappear, only to be replaced by new shapes and hues. The result is a perpetual cycle of construction and erasure, each instant forming a new abstract color study.

_Resonant Echo _was commissioned by the platform Feral File for “Patterns of Flow,” an exhibition that took place both online and in Tokyo featuring works responding to Kawano’s legacy. Where Kawano froze generative order in print, Okazz animates it—a tribute that is also an evolution.
