Crazy Craving Cats is a piece that depicts different types of cats with different personalities, different favorite places, and different favorite foods. No one knows what these cats may be thinking but they are definitely hungry and prefer a sweet treat. You can find these cats munching on a donut or boba whether on a commute to who knows where, enjoying the beach waves, or even in a mysterious forest. Medium: This piece was created using Claude AI to generate code. The code was then input into P5.js and iterated on within the tool to achieve the final outcome. Artist Bio: Lexi is a first year student at UCLA majoring in Cognitive Science. She is passionate about arts, design, and creative expressions. She enjoys making digital art in her free time and is excited to see how AI can extend the boundaries of digital art. Lexi also enjoys interactive art and videogames, interested in how they can tell heartfelt and emotional stories that inspire moments of connection and understanding. Artist Statement: My work focuses on the joy and whimsy of everyday life. I use a colorful cartoonish style to explore ideas related to animals, and food, as they are two things that are commonly enjoyed by most people, and can make people smile. Crazy craving cats is largely inspired by my personal love for desserts and cats, as well as my recent trip to Japan, and Studio Ghibli films. When I visit new countries I tend to find myself enjoying the more mundane aspects of life such as taking public transportation or snacking. I created these cats hoping to show that you can find whimsy and enjoyment out of the mundane.
