Andrew Mitchell is a generative artist based in Virginia who makes art with code, blending vivid, nature-inspired aesthetics with emotion. He holds a degree in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, where he first explored creative coding, and has written custom Ethereum smart contracts for himself and other artists. He is also co-founder of Mitchell and Yun Studios, the collaborative studio behind Primera.
Primera, released in November 2021 with Grant Yun, is coded entirely in p5.js and studies the fundamentals of early 20th-century art, generating each of its 400 pieces at the moment of mint. He met the aerial photographer Rich Caldwell on Twitter in late 2021, and their collaboration began the following year. Their first joint piece, No Diving, used p5.js to recursively mask, manipulate and reflect one of Caldwell's aerial photographs of a swimming pool. That partnership led to Modulo, a 128-piece collection released on Foundation that transforms Caldwell's aerial shots of rooftops by selecting, shuffling and reapplying segments of each photograph in code.
