100 artworks conceived and created by artist Kevin Abosch for the occasion of the 2022 edition of The Helsinki Festival. Working with data derived from thousands of traditional Finnish wall-hangings called ryijy (pronounced ree-yiu), and using machine-learning algorithms (artificial intelligence) to "train on" the data, the artist worked in a back and forth "feedback loop" with computer to present an emotional distillation of this culturally rich craft with an eye towards the future. A collection of these works will be available as NFT's August 2022.
