In Aug 2023, I had the incredible privilege of interviewing Vera Molnár for the ‘Generative’ documentary film we are crowdfunding. At the age of 99, she was still creating new work some months before her passing.
She was an inspiring force and true pioneer of generative art. Her remarkable legacy will live on.

Big moment for generative art—
Tate Modern is about to open Electric Dreams, one of their most ambitious shows to date, that explores the history of computer and algorithmic art from the 1950s.

I've published `bitframes` (the codec & renderer) to npm, for those who want to tinker with it.

an encoding I curated/crafted with a bit of JavaScript and the raw Bitframes codec. Not every parameter is exposed by the editor; it could be cool to see somebody else build some tools that allow for a different range of expression.

Have a few edits to the Create tab in Bitframes to make next week. Also thinking about a way to get the site working nicely within a farcaster Frame. 👀 Random button, mint, maybe a little editing?
Does dynamic SVG work in Frames? My server could generate that easily on the fly for low res previews.

Website will be released shortly.
Bitframes encodes each artwork in 32 bytes, using the blockchain as a distributed storage & crowdfund mechanism. This will be an open edition sale over four weeks, and users enter to win one of 32 limited editions.

I've been working behind the scenes on the documentary for the past year, helping the filmmakers navigate the incredible history of generative and computer art that stretches back to the 1950s.
I'm really excited by the interviews we've captured so far, and the prospect of this topic reaching a wider audience. I feel it's important to record the stories of some of these pioneering artists while we can, and document this often under-appreciated art movement and its global communities.

My next project will leverage some modern web features—wide gamut P3 color, offscreen canvas workers, IndexedDB for caching. Also a lot of coding on the backend which has been new for me. Definitely inspired to make more full-stack apps after this.
Excited to release more details in the coming week. 😀
