Generative artist interested in the exploration of autonomous systems from which life-like behaviors emerge.  Founder of fxhash, a platform for generative artists to publish and sell their art.

Generative Art (code with random elements).

Generations comes as an introduction to open-form, a new genre of generative art that’s inspired by Darwinism and natural selection. This collection focuses on exploring open-form through the lens of the very concepts that inspired its creation.

The first generation of organisms receives DNA that is slightly mutated with each new generation. Mutations might introduce new and interesting behavior, or, true to nature, defective ones. However, in nature, survival of the fittest dictates which genes are passed on, whereas in open-form, selection is effected by humans via a large-scale social exploration of algorithms.

I started to work on this project alongside the design of the FXH Protocol, and the two greatly influenced each other. I’m quite excited to see how you will explore this algorithm but am even more excited to see how artists will explore open-form as a new medium.

While I’ve been working on this project for many months, it hasn’t yet reached its final state. Because the FXH Protocol allows artists like myself to upgrade project code, I’ll slowly bring in my ideas over time to keep pushing Generations to new places.

This project is meant to be executed, not enjoyed for its static outputs.
