We don't have "generative art" in 2022 without long and rich histories of computer art, video synthesis, cybernetics, experimental film and animation, conceptual art, collage, centuries of drawing and painting... +++++ it's all on the table, all the time...

"Generative art refers to any art practice where the artist uses a system, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, ... which is set into motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a completed work of art." —Galanter, 2003

code needs to perform, it can't be captured. when you create generative art in the way some of my work exists, the instant it gets encoded in video for the web or represented as an image, it kills everything that's essential to it.

Golan says, "Cytographia is an algorithmic neoincunabulum of xenocytology." I don't know what that means, but it's amazing generative art coming to
@artblocks_io
in 2024.
Golan and I sat in the same room at MIT 1999-2000, and we made weird things things together. I learned so…
@artblocks_io
"Cytographia" is an elegy for species we will never know, or will never know again, expressed through generative illustrations from an imaginary book about imaginary organisms.
