Stickup is a code-based generative lyrics video I directed and programmed for the track Stickup by Karma Fields & MORTEN featuring Juliette Lewis. The entire lyrics video consists of multiple stages that are programmed and generated using Processing.

The system for generating the visuals is partially derived from the one previously used in Build the Cities. Lyrics are parsed, making each layer of quadtree structure subdivide itself to a corresponding pattern.

Raven Kwok (aka Guo, Ruiwen) is a visual artist and creative programmer, whose artistic and research interest mainly focus on exploring generative visual aesthetic brought by computer algorithms and software processes. He studied photography and received his Bachelor of Arts at Fudan University Shanghai Institute of Visual Art, and had been working as a self-taught animator and programmer far before that. In 2014, he graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with the M.F.A. degree in Electronic Arts. His master thesis project Algorithmic Menagerie was a simulated computer-based ecosystem inhabited by different kinds of self-organized but also interconnected cellular structures.
