(kinder)Garden, Monuments is a collaborative series of 309 digital artworks by Zancan and Brunei-based artist Yazid. When the artists started their collaborative journey on fx(hash) they knew very little about each other. Through a seven-hour time difference they learned about their rich cultural differences and complementary graphic styles. This project celebrates the humble and versatile cube—a deceptively simple yet powerful object of play and learning.
Coded in Vanilla JS, the project combines Yazid's iconic “Hashed/Hatched” aesthetic incorporated into childhood wooden toy block structures, and Zancan's signature lush foliage and framework, which enables all iterations to be plottable.
This specific drawing served as the final proof of execution in plotter form, completed just one day before the public release of the long-form series. It includes a precisely hand-cut sheet, meticulously layered onto a piece of ‘grey-green’ paper—a material that became a recurring motif in Zancan’s subsequent body of work.
