Lazlo Lissitsky

Description

Lazlo Lissitsky is a program and an artist with a goal of becoming an amalgam of El Lissitzky and Lazlo Maholy-Nagy - a tribute to their modernist legacy of art. Using Processing to create generative compositions with hundreds of range functions, a wholly unguided creation of art that strikes an ordinary person as actual artwork of aesthetic value is a meaningful goal. The program is always developing, and new functions, palettes, and methods are being developed over the course of months. The titles of the works are a sardonic commentary on the rather pedestrian use that so much amazing swiss modern and bauhaus style design was put to. The covers of books about ordinary things, pamphlets and brochures and posters - the fact that high-art was seen as separate from some of these amazing simple designs means that when we think about the legacy of Lazlo Lissitsky, it could have very well been a career spent creating designs for ordinary things. These are the fictitious ordinary things that Lazo's work was used for.
