_CRAWL_ is a series of 512 unique artworks, each generated from a Python-code system authored by Travess Smalley. Each artwork is a “level” to be explored, and includes different patterns, colors, and textures. The core of each artwork is a map image, but the artwork is also the way the image is revealed to the viewer through Smalley’s custom-built explorer software. Viewers can sit back and watch the software perform itself, or they can navigate directly with a keyboard. While exploring, different colors within the image trigger different events. Each level has a door icon, as well as other features to discover — all of which reveal new ways to explore.

Each _CRAWL_ artwork is one “level.” If you collect multiple _CRAWL_ artworks, they can be merged into a new artwork that contains all the levels in your collection. For instance, if 24 individual levels are collected, those artworks can be combined into a unique 1/1 software artwork featuring all 24 levels, and the original single-layer artworks are burned. After a merge, icons embedded into each level map enable the collector to move between levels.
