Gen Art

Farcaster channel for sharing and discussing anything generative made using code, but especially art.

Farcaster Generative Art Channel

PolyTower, 2015, from my Makerbot era.

Proto-long-form generative experiment 3D printing. Lo-poly meshes converted to wireframes by placing boxes along each edge, generated in batches of 25 at a time. 

Never exhibited, would have needed a 3D printer farm. I've gifted most to artist friends over the years.

Not sure if the one you gave me is from the same series or not? But I love it.

Art and code since 1994. https://linktr.ee/mariuswatz

Thank you for posting this, Paul. I don’t have a list of where these pieces ended up. 😅

I can tell that print is on the rough side, would love to print a new one for you if I ever get my hands on a FDM printer again.

I always liked the 'rough' side, and saw it as a feature - and as added texture. You can always sign me up for a more 'polished' print though, if you ever get a chance :)

I don’t mind the imperfections, but I can tell that one has some inconsistencies and wobbles in some of the layers that I’m not as fond of. But it’s certainly an artifact of its time!
