Gabriel Benderski, a designer in Montevideo, Uruguay, approached me with a project: he’d been looking for various <a>s in a modular design space he’d created and wanted to broaden his search. I wrote code for him that generated all 104,976 permutations of the space as he’d defined it, and from that field he chose the 664 that looked the most like <a>s to him. He’s begun to design a series of artifacts using the <a>s in various ways.
