Algorithmic Generative Fine Artist
Mecca, Saudi Arabia
About
Melissa Wiederrecht (*1988 in Iowa City, USA) was raised in Wyoming, but lives and works in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, surrounded by Sudanese people and culture. She holds degrees in Computer Science and uses those skills to make art, with code, exploring intersections of cultures, times, and modalities. Her work uses code, blockchain, AI, and pretty much any modern technology in order to provide new lenses and ways of thinking about ancient concepts, varied cultures, marginalized communities, and identity.
Wiederrecht’s work has been shown with Art Blocks Curated, Verse, fxhash, Gucci x Christie’s, Bright Moments, Unit London, FeralFile, and many more in exhibitions worldwide.
