Description
Sol LeWitt was a conceptual artist who never touched his own walls.He wrote instructions and other people executed them, the original prompt engineer!I bookmarked a project called "Solving Sol" seven years ago and made a repo in 2018. Committed a README. Never pushed anything else.Fast forward to 2026, I finally built it.https://intervolz.com/sollewitt/
