About this work
Overview
A massive community work pairing my friendship-bracelet concept with Alexis André's generative algorithm, free to claim and made to be shared.
How It Works
Bracelets were free to claim and made to be gifted. Each token generates a bracelet pattern, and the project includes instructions for physically making it with embroidery floss.
Deeper Layer
The work treats community as material: accessibility, making, and gifting are as much the medium as the generated pattern.

The Art Blocks page below shows the full collection and its patterns.
What People Miss
The claim mechanic, the gifting path, and the physical instructions all belong to the artwork itself.
Place In The Path
A community/making bridge toward Heart + Craft, ///, LIFT, and send/receive.
