Fragment Assembler is a chaos engine that creates complex abstract patterns and textures. As the artwork is drawn, it constantly recomposes itself during assembly with a series of displacement techniques, creating new forms and visual elements, while others get broken into pieces and textures. The work is orientation agnostic, and presents the output in portrait orientation on tall displays.

Intended to display on high resolution mode. The artwork renders with lower resolution by default to maintain compatibility with lower end devices.

Press '2' to double the internal resolution (recommended).
Press 'h' to enable full internal resolution (requires a modern desktop computer).
Press space bar to reload the work.
Press 's' to save the output as PNG.
To render a 6k PNG, first press 'h', then save with 'p' (requires a modern desktop computer).

Fragment Assembler will be displayed from 2nd of September until 1st of October 2022 with Antti Pussinen's "Matriisi" at Luisa Catucci Gallery, Allerstraße 38, 12049 Berlin, Germany. 40 editions will be reserved for live minting at the gallery & printed and framed on demand. Few will be minted by the artist to be exhibited as prints at the gallery.
