Ode to Construction: Abstraction in the Digital Age is a novel exploration of the intersections of design and art through the means of generative code. The book gestures playfully and melancholically towards the desires of the Suprematist and Constructivist movements of the Russian avant-garde, which strived to reimagine the role of the artist and create a new mass culture. The artist book features the output of a generative tool, showcasing its possibilities and exploring the movement's utopian aim of transforming art into a medium that serves everyone.
