Sup everyone—It's been a while since we last made a proper update. Let's change that! While things might have appeared quiet on the surface, behind the scenes we've had our hands full these last months.

Transparency is the key 🔑 These newsletters will keep us accountable to you & will document our journey forward, together!

In this first installment, we’ve curated several topics that we think are relevant for a start, but we’ll refine the structure over the coming weeks—naturally, we’d love to hear your feedback.

Does anyone else ever try to verbalize what they see or appreciate in a detail?

That was a big motivation behind this article 👇

Demystifying Generative Aesthetics

‍This is the second part in a series on building a framework for appreciating generative art. In the first part, “Demystifying Generative Art,” Peter Bauman (Monk Antony) builds the case for such a framework. In this essay, he takes a closer look at one of the five framework components, Results—the outputs of a generative system. Peter spoke to Tyler Hobbs, Kim Asendorf, Andreas Gysin, Leander Herzog, Erick Calderon, William Mapan, Lauren Lee McCarthy, Sougwen Chung, Christiane Paul, Patricio González Vivo, Linda Dounia and Golan Levin for the piece.

Just made the playlist and excited to dig in this weekend👂🖤

Le Random

Podcast · Le Random · Le Random is building a digital generative art institution that contextualizes and elevates generative art. We achieve this in two ways. First, we are assembling a historically encompassing, chain-agnostic generative art collection. Second, we publish content that enables the generative art community to understand its past, curate its present and celebrate its future. This includes an Editorials section, our book-length Generative Art Timeline and our multimedia content here and on YouTube. This is the home of Le Random's audio content.
