At the risk of sounding like an idiot. What even is this? Is there a purpose? It looks just like random pixel generation to me. There is no explanation anywhere I can find on a "purpose" or "motivation".

Who says art needs a purpose?

It makes abstract patterns, some of which you may find pretty. It’s similar to other algorithmic art dating back to the 60s.

Art doesn't necessarily have a purpose other than being inspiring and anything could be inspiring to some people. But art also has something to do with the human experience, with a process that the artist finds and sticks to, something that teaches them something back, it could be something about themselves etc.
