Was checking the portfolio of Onformative, a Berlin studio for digital art and design founded by Cedric Kiefer and Julia Laub, 2010. Old friends.
Love that they have a feed of sketches and random outputs from on-going projects. https://onformative.com/feed

Subvert.fm looks interesting. No idea if it’s solid or if it’ll be a success, but user-controlled services are overdue for a resurgence.
(Also, they have a delightfully are.na-like zine as a roadmap.)

Had the pleasure of catching the Marshmallow Laser Feast show at Bitforms in NY this weekend. It's a sumptuous feast of manipulated point clouds (presumably LIDAR scans?) and generative animations.

Free mint! In connection with the "Compositions in Code: The Art of Processing and p5.js" you can mint a free open edition of MoMI Exploder (Fragment), a detail from my wall drawing for the exhibition.

"Poor Artists", book by The White Pube - the art criticism collective of Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad.
Sounds entertaining, intersectional to the max, and postmodern af. Fictional characters, monsters and ghosts? Clearly not Clement Greenbergs art criticism.

A friend pointed out my recent posting about my Towers series on @rodeodotclub was a bit confusing. Wrote this in a comment:
These renders I've been posting as teasers represent my process working with 3D models as source material. Iterating different visual treatments (some serious, some ridiculous) is me finding a satisfying approach to the form.
Faux architecture or candy-colored kitsch? Maybe brutalist monument?
The plan is to release Towers as a series of rendered images, but importantly also as interactive GLTF models - my first serious foray into distributable 3D content. 🔴🔴🔴

Quite like these Minimalist sculptures / objects from Hilgemann's early career.

The Hydrant Directory by Day Lane is a sweet project that provides index of fire hydrants that have been decorated by street artists or local residents.
Each hydrant has been 3D scanned (Polycam) and is viewable online with its GPS address, an interactive 3D model and a color palette based on the scan.
Great use of GLTF! ❤️ https://dayroselane.com/hydrants

I guess a Trump detour into supporting neo-classical architecture and figurative art was inevitable.

Posted: Two versions of Tower 0007B-02D, one monochrome for #monochrome-monday, the other as decadent pink as ever.
These are process pieces, just sketching. The final presentation of the Towers series probably won't look anything like this.

Apologies for not providing a link to the pod:

Note: Verse Talks speaks to the perspective of Verse and its collectors, not always easy listening for struggling artists. I appreciate them putting it out there, nonetheless.

Enjoyed listening to the (exhausted, exasperated) @verse pod about Botto. A 1000-token long-form collection of AI-generated variants of basic Perlin noise sketches produced a volume of $364k, and everybody is upset.
Why is this a surprise to anyone? We’re seeing an extreme long tail market economy where most artists can’t move any work, no matter how laborious or exquisite, but collectors ape into a project that hovers between conceptual art and bare jokes.
You can like Botto, but you can’t expect starving artists to share your enthusiasm. 😝

From Artsy: "A founding member of Italian artist collective Gruppo N, Alberto Biasi is a kinetic and Op art pioneer. He creates seemingly vibrating works with illusory tricks and precise geometry."

Art doesn’t come with guarantees with fame or riches, but know that you’re immediately accepted into a family (yes, dysfunctional)of people equally dependent on making art.
If we could not make art, why would we? Why stick with it after the first few awkward, lonely moments?

Excited to be exhibiting with @alexandrajovanic at "Compositions in Code: The Art of Processing and p5.js" at Museum of the Moving Image in New York, opening March 6th in partnership with the Tezos Foundation.
I'll be in the Big Apple for the opening, feel free to ping me! 🍎

Amazing are.na board from Justin Lincoln filled to the brim with generative art and creative code resources - artist web sites, tutorials, theory. Inspo galore!

Critical phase of any render project: Evaluate consistency in style, form and color. Looks like I have less than 10 unique SysTower models. Their principles of construction diverge a bit, some end up spindly annd steampunk-like.
Fair warning: Currently finishing up additional pieces from my Towers 1/1series, will mint this evening or tomorrow.
The two current Towers are listed at 100tz, but once I list the rest I'll be raising the price. https://objkt.com/collections/KT19nUpnphvYStNWNPNe5vGMTMCP8uKjJt48

Another day, another (woman) digital art pioneer you've never heard of. Charlotte Johanneson (SE) trained as a weaver but started using an Apple II in 1978, transitioning into a practice of creating plotter art and hybrid / digital works.

Love these animated assemblies @v4w-enko has been posting on Rodeo recently. It's like Memphis Group, Bauhaus and 80's CGI did a stylish collab.
Would make great screensavers or ambient visuals on screens in public spaces, and I mean that in the best possible sense.
