I will be sharing some of my past work, and talking about motivation for my process. I started working with minimal tech (laptop, text editor, C compiler) to avoid the "moving target" of media production tools, and as a personal challenge, an exploratory journey.

FOMO into learning, instead of owning. There's an opportunity cost to time spent NFTing. Invest in your own knowledge and skills, build something, be curious, make some art rather than buying it. It's a rewarding experience. Wagmi

True generative art will be considered historically significant in 5-10 years. And I don’t mean the preminted stuff, as that isn’t provably random on-chain. I mean Art Blocks, MetaHero Universe, and Autoglyphs. This bridges autonomous coding and art. It is culturally significant.
