I've been working behind the scenes on the documentary for the past year, helping the filmmakers navigate the incredible history of generative and computer art that stretches back to the 1950s.

I'm really excited by the interviews we've captured so far, and the prospect of this topic reaching a wider audience. I feel it's important to record the stories of some of these pioneering artists while we can, and document this often under-appreciated art movement and its global communities.

I'll be releasing the project website tomorrow with more details, but before then, you can read a transcript of my conversation with @monkantony  @lerandomart, which goes into more detail about the artwork and documentary film.
