Generative artist Emily Xie<\/a> has teamed up with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to launch her latest collection, Interwoven. Xie, best known for her generative collection Memories of Qilin, is once again using the power of code to create enchanting pieces.<\/p>\n This collaboration between the notable artist and museum holds a unique impact, as LACMA has quickly become a hot spot for digital art. The museum started a fund dedicated to acquiring digital art in 2022 and, since then, expanded its collection with NFTs donated by Cozomo de\u2019 Medici. As part of the \u201cRemembrance of Things Future\u201d blockchain initiative in collaboration with Cactoid Labs<\/a>, LACMA is working with esteemed digital artists to craft artwork that re-envisions objects and pieces from the museum\u2019s permanent collections.\u00a0<\/p>\n Interwoven is an on-chain digital series that is creatively influenced by the quilts and textiles found within LACMA\u2019s repertoire. Fascinated by the visual patchwork and the harmonious union of different patterns, Xie embarked on a quest to explore the potential of quilts in the realm of her generative art style.<\/p>\n \u201cI was specifically interested in quilts and fabrics; they tend to inspire me because they are so deeply multi-sensorial,\u201d Xie shared in an interview with nft now. \u201cThere\u2019s an element of visual patchwork, and I love how different patterns can come together and create something so united looking.\u00a0<\/p>\n During Xie\u2019s exploration, one particular quilt captured her attention\u2014the 1896 Bullseye quilt created by Martha Lou Jones. Xie shared her admiration, saying, \u201cWhat I love about it is how it represented what generative art meant to me. There\u2019s the tension between the human and the computational.\u201d <\/p>\nThe initial inspiration<\/h2>\n
