Beauty in Code
This ARTKL will be used to document, highlight, and occasionally offer an amateur examination of long form generative art on tezos. Each month will see a new addition to the ARTKL in the form of a revision through updating metadata in the token. Primary buyers will all receive an airdrop of one edition of Mikkel Hartmann's "7 Years of Bad Luck" as well as one NFT certificate of carbon offsets in the form of 10 trees planted. Example can be found at treeoffset.tez's objkt profile (please note - secondary will not receive initial airdrop, but will be eligible for future airdrops if address is holding the token at time of airdrop). All publications will remain in the ARTKL for posterity. The first publication showcases Yazid, and as such, royalties will be split on this token with him. Other artists to be showcased include Ileiv Oivm, Jeffrey Ventrella, Mark Knol, Anna Lucia, mjlindow, Juhani Halkomaki, idlebit, ginzi_o, Ross Goodwin, sableraph, and Mikkel Hartmann.

The fascination of pen plotting, handwriting and spirals
The article introduces a collaboration between @greweb and Arthur Simony, titled "Plottable Spirals." This innovative project seamlessly blends the art of handwriting, generative art, and pen plotting to create spirals of words. Arthur Simony's handwritten letters are creatively transformed into code to generate unique curves of words. The chosen words are carefully selected to convey positive values, and they are randomly associated to form thematic spirals. The article also discusses the physical exhibition of premium plots in a Paris gallery and the availability of digital NFT versions on fx(hash). The project represents a fusion of organic handwriting and mathematical precision, challenging the boundaries of art and technology. It explores the beauty of spirals as an art form and the potential of pen plotting to automate handwriting.

Ode to Contrapuntos, or Remembrance
Some artworks are still mysteries to me, and Contrapuntos is one of them. It was this piece that made me fall in love with generative art. It was this work that gave me this sparking moment when I came to understand not just intellectually, but at my very soul, how an artist's imagination, algorithms, and randomness play together in generative art to create beauty and meanings. And yet it turned out to be the most challenging piece to describe in writing. As I looked at it, thoughts and words vanished and a sense of joyful silence filled my mind. As much as I wanted to share it, I struggled to find the right words.
