When looking at @pxlshrd's portfolio, the use of colours and the overarching narrative of the interconnectedness of things stand out.
His unique palettes remind me of rust, acid, and lilac, and the multitude of #GenerativeArt projects that he released on #fxhash explore networks on microscopic and cosmic scales.
I took a deep dive into @pxlshrd's artwork and wrote an article about it:
"Tur" consists of 444 mostly black and white images of mysterious, solitary towers in desolate landscapes. The artists used AI to generate the images based on hand-drawn architectural sketches.

Perforations is an exploration of time. What if we found a set of ancient artefacts buried underground for unknown millennia? What are they? Who made them? What are they trying to tell us? Maybe the patterns are a message. Or a map. Or a clue.

Passively participating in #Genuary2024 — Day 9 ASCII. In summer 2022 I released ASCII-SCAPE, a textmode remix of my earlier C-SCAPE co-evolving multi-cellular automata simulation piece. Technially, it should been called UTF-SCAPE, but hey (some variations actually are strictly ASCII only).
The piece uses 1200+ handpicked rule combinations (based on custom rules & neighborhood configurations I generated/searched/collected/curated with my own tools over the past 20+ years), 32 character sets, 40 color themes, all creating literally billions of possible combinations... The piece also allows recording & exporting chunks of the simulation as plain text files (just press X to start/end recording)
Stories of Sponges and Survival is a write–up about Paweł Grzelak's two recent, strangely beautiful #DigitalArt projects Gemmules and Symplasma: Experiment that put their focus on a somewhat unassuming animal species: sponges!
Read my text to find out why this is way more interesting (and beautiful) than one might expect:
A #DigitalArt pairing that I recently added to my collection:
"Highway, Beach" by Dennis Chilas (DDDC) from his new #AIArt collection "Tales From Above" and "Nausicaa #28" by @qotonana, recently released on #fxhash.
I like how the colours and shapes work together. The rusty orange that increases the impact of both images isn't a tone you come across frequently, and it makes both works special.
1/4 A Pile, To Be Sorted by @spinkdinky (Chris McCully) combines a visualization of life's complexity with a metaphorical pursuit of clarity into captivating, vibrant, abstract pieces of art.
The artist dedicated it to his father and, in doing so, paid tribute to a piece of advice that he gave: To tackle life's challenges one small step at a time.
The muted, reduced colours and patina of noise that covers most of @_nekropunk's minimal #GenerativeArt projects result in unique, vintage works that often combine illustration and generative elements. "Viadukt", "Skalka" and the recent minimal, magical "grain:street" and "Elektrobotanika" are wonderful works, but my favourite is the older "Mind docks sorting station".
.: It has been 3 weeks since I've published Monolith with 128 Ed. available on #fxhash and only 15 Ed. are minted at the moment :: it's now reduced to only 20 Ed. in total and the last 5 Ed. are available to mint for 15ꜩ #tezos only for the next 48h #genart :.
.:: quick reminder that the remaining supply of The Machine will be burned in ~15 hours :: at the moment there are 38 iterations minted and they all look fantastic :: thank you for your support ::.
.: yes, this is my #genart on #fxhash and for the most part is not considered unique and different :: if you think differently please show me :: like and share this post :.
The outputs of "Arrokoth" by @qotonana are dynamic and slightly confusing in a thought–provoking way.
Watching the swarm–like shifting and meandering of the displayed particles in live view has an unexpectedly organic vibe, despite the reference to astronomy in title and description.
"formless-z" by Costa Chung (OneRocket) feel both familiar and strange in the images' discomfortingly imperfect resemblance of humanoid figures.
The random shapes that the algorithm generates look like distorted, hunched over bodies of alien astronauts, and more often than not, the number of limbs exceeds what we'd expect to see in humanoid creatures.
It looks like color bleeding cities ! by Valentin Goulmy has some nice palettes and a wide range of complexity that you can play around with. It's a parameter based mint on #fxhash and still open (just don't try a custom palette, that will result in a dud).
My fellow Atelier writer @deuspoeticus took a deep dive and wrote an article about it that I recommend you to read. Here, I want to show my favourite outputs from a project that I feel didn't get the attention it deserves.
I'm not participating in #Genuary2024 but I did publish a #GenerativeArt piece for #fxhash 2.0 in December last year that also uses flocking: "Etched Murmurations".
