Karsten Schmidt (toxi) has created a generalized JS API package for doing long-form gen art releases, currently supporting Editart, fxhash and Layer. (I wish I had a third of Karsten's persistence and clarity of code. That man is a rare treasure.) https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/

If you only know Cattelan from that banana stunt, you're missing out. I was fortunate to see his Guggenheim retrospective, in which all the work was shown suspended from a giant truss. A daring idea considering many of those pieces are worth millions.. 😍 https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/maurizio-cattelan-all

This impromptu Twitter trend is sparking joy. People tweeting their work with the caption "Generative art comes in many forms." (OP being @ertdfgcvb, I believe..) https://x.com/search?q=Generative%20art%20comes%20in%20many%20forms.&src=typed_query

I wouldn't normally do this... but: Please do go watch this video. It's 11 minutes well spent. I'm guessing a lot of people here aren't so familiar with these three artists, they represent a strand of digital art that's more concerned with social critique, digital identity and speculative fictions. Their work goes deep, but is so generous. The NFT space needs more of this energy. Just my 2 gwei... Peace.

#monochrome-monday /geometric Alt views of Pablo Valbuena's augmented sculpture (thanks to @visiophone for posting!) His works were the first video mapping pieces that convinced me it could be more than a shiny novelty trick.

TOWR by @eboy on @fxhash is a must-mint. Prepare to spend some time evolving it, just try to learn the lock / evolve mechanics first! Made a quick GIF of my TOWR mints so far. https://www.fxhash.xyz/iteration/towr-1998

Drawings of "Ville Radieuse" by Le Corbusier - an extreme of utopian Modernism. No matter how good the intentions, looking at this drawing practically makes me shudder at the inhumanity of it. https://99percentinvisible.org/article/ville-radieuse-le-corbusiers-functionalist-plan-utopian-radiant-city/

Evan Roth posted about his Graffiti Analysis project being 20 years old, so I dug up my 2005 Generator.x blog post about it. The way Evan captured the motion of drawing a tag so it could be played back in software blew me away, it was a perfect example of physical action transcribed as data so it could be re-manifested. Using guerilla projections (new in 2005) to "bomb" public spaces was perfect, too. Basically posted a blog post on insta, I need a better solution post-Tumblr... 😅 https://www.instagram.com/p/DLqiaGsIKkE/

Biomorphism before biomorphism.. Hôtel Guimard, Paris, 1912 by Hector Guimard. He is best known for his Art Nouveau subway entrances to the Paris Metro, but fell out of fashion in his own lifetime. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/04/hector-guimard-forgotten-designer-art-nouveau-metro-entrances-paris-museum
