Pizza Punk, the working name of Jérôme Mercier, writes code in JavaScript and P5.js to create generative drawings, animated GIF loops, and interactive editions in which collectors help shape the final piece. He trained in psychology and cognitive science, worked as a web designer from 1999, and turned to generative art as his primary medium in 2015.
On the platform EditArt.xyz, Mercier released Quanta in 2025, a piece coded in P5.js around a grid of fields that morph and interact, which collectors could tune through five sliders to generate one of 100 editions. All 100 editions sold out in just over 24 hours. Mercier described the work saying “the grid is not a boundary, it’s a field”. In November 2025 Quanta was shown in the “Art After Dark” show at Soma Art Space during the Art on Tezos festival in Berlin, presented by EditArt.
