In November 2022 R. and I visited Anni and Josef Albers exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag.

Following Anni and Josef Arnolds's vision as art teachers, Kunstmuseum suggested the visitors open their eyes and share a personal observation of one of the works from the exhibition.

Standing before the Red Meander by Anni Arnolds, I had an impression of a moving picture. The squares formed by the superposition of consequent prints seemed to blink and reminded me of a glitch or pixels. Meanwhile, the title "meander" evoked a labyrinth -something more solid- or a path - dynamic, interweaving, evolving.

As a result, I coded this little sketch with a blinking background where you can create, draw, walk your own meander. As an almost meditative exercise, it reflects the idea of an "aimless wander" and experimentation.
