Whenever circumstances do not look promising, writers are keen on finding ways to modify and hack conditions to their favor. Looking for tools to reappropriate does not necessarily have limits in the physical realm. The software is used the same way the founders re-contextualized spray cans from an industrial setting and transcended the tool into the art world. This project unveils many parallels to the approach of the graffiti pioneers in New York back in the 1970s. Their playful approach draws much strength from an uncompromising purity and naivety, which Gradient Descent tries to re-discover now with the help of new technology.
