This week we have a look at a new and exciting project from Inigo Quilez, the N=12 group exhibition on Feral File, Re-tain: a new generative art platform on tezos, as well as a number of interesting reads that revolve around different genart topics!

Springs are an integral concept to physics, fundamental components used in many applications, coming to life with Hooke's Law from the 17th century. In this post we have a look at how to code and simulate such springs and extend a previous particle system with them.

This week: Twitter rolls out a new creator ads revenue sharing program, we launch a discourse forum for the blog, we have a brief look at the nft show europe in Valencia, and also see the launch announcement of a new generative art platform on Eth. Among many more news!

Putting in the effort day after day and latching on to those fleeting moments of inspiration can go a long way to set yourself up for success. Advice from accomplished generative artists Jared Tarbell, Tyler Hobbs and Bruce aka Studio Yorktown.

A simple algorithmic idea that can produce interesting organic looking patterns. Essentially a circle packing strategy with the added twist that the circles are connected in a tree/graph like structure. 🌳🦠

Every week we are blessed with more Twitter Drama - is Twitter actually dying? Will Zuckerberg figuratively, and literally, deliver a knockout punch? Oh, there's also stuff about generative art if you've heard about it. Check it!

Vue is an excellent framework for creating intricate and reactive user interfaces, while maintaining a manageable code base. In this article we cover the core concepts and build a minimal app to showcase Vue's features.

This week we take another ride on the wild Twitter roller-coaster, with a change that might profoundly affect the platform in the future. Equally big news from FxHash, planning on integrating Eth support. As well as many more updates from the world of generative art!

In this post we have a closer look at my generative token Somewhere in between and the code that generates it's graphics. Building upon the irregular grid strategy from way back when I approached rectangle divisions in a completely new manner.

In this post we have a look at 3 principles from 3 great generative artists: Zach Lieberman, Frieder Nake and Saskia Freeke. Generative art as a budding artform has many angles of approach, and what better way to gain a deeper understanding of it than learning from the greats.

This week we have a look at LeRandom, a new digital genart institution, FxHash launches redeemables alongside a 6 week hackathon, and Proof of X comes to a conclusion! Among many other updates from the gen art world!

In this post we have a look at a method with which we can greatly improve a collision detection system. Using a lookup grid we can greatly reduce the number of required checks between particles. We will also look at some methods to optimize this lookup grid.
