Full text of the manifesto of *the seed* drafted by Aether Cavendish (aka Aether Dada). This manifesto is minted as a companion piece to the eponymous visual poetry artwork created by Ariel Malka and minted by *the seed* on Teia/Objkt on this day, on the occasion of the zine reaching 500 followers on Twitter.

We released the seeds at midday, following our best computer predictions, hoping against all odds that they'd travel far, re-seeding the earth, sowing a future for us. It was months since the fall, since that terrible moment containment failed; quarantine failed; humanity itself failed. We called it ‘The Last Days’—unoriginal, perhaps, but descriptive all the same–and shook our heads in despair at our hubris, at the price we'd paid. This would make it all right. Our computer model, proving we still had hope, that we'd make it all go away. The seeds would float on the wind, drifting into the tortured air, and carry with them new life. And we would live again.

The seventh generative token in the BLOCKZ series emerged from an exploration about corals, the Maldives ecosystem and the Dhivehi language script: Thaana.

A brief chronicle of the development of "Absorbed," leading British hi-end audio maker KEF's generative art collaboration on fx(hash). To summarize: transforming noise into pattern meant discovering the unexpected and incredible in between.

Discussing Verdant Brut, its palettes & inspirations, and a way to pack palettes in a terse way.

Solitude Meditation is a generative animated piece created using the Hydra.js and p5.js library, exploring the sense of solitude and subtle stimuli that involves colors, movement, and brightness blending to induce a calm and warm feeling. The slow-subtle movement of the animation in this piece tried to enhance the meditative element that existed within. This article will also explain a bit about the creative processes of this piece.

Cellular automata are fascinating. They are systems of rules that determine the behavior of cells on a grid. The cell behavior or lifecycle can be determined in variety of ways, generally by evaluating any given cell's neighborhood, which can be as simple as a one dimensional (single row on a grid), two dimensional (cells around the given cell on the two dimension grid), three dimensional and so on setups, with various approaches to working with states, and other attributes of the system of cells. The cells evolve over time based on the given rule sets, which creates a variety of patterns and behaviors, and is a perfect example for emergence. In this article we will look at building a simple one dimensional automata and how it has been used for the 'Automatic' project.

The question of what constitutes generative art has been a subject of ongoing debate within the art community, again, as of late. As generative art receives its debut on the international stage like never before, it’s worth remembering what got us here and where we hope to go.

'Gkrint' is a celebration of minimalism colour, and space. Inspired by the timeless principles of Bauhaus design, we used simple geometric shapes to explore the relationship between colour and space using the humble grid, a foundation of generative art, and animation. In doing so, we discovered repetition, fluidity, breaks, and the emergence of unexpected and delightful compositions.

Art reflecting our increasingly digital age, where AI is pervasive, overcame initial challenges through determined communication and code adjustments, ultimately demonstrating technology's potential as a powerful artistic instrument.

A statement discussing the concept and release mechanics of the Self Trilogy.

I made an end-run around an AI generative art platform to release art that doesn't actually use AI for its image generation. However, because I couldn't entirely turn off the AI, it leaves a trace in visible image artifacts. Is the result AI art? Is it not? Should you collect it if you collect AI art? Should you collect it if you don't collect AI art but do collect code-based art? Read further to learn everything about this collection.

This fx(text) is about an adventure into the the fashion world with my generative art.

Kinetics is a neo-constructivist 512 piece generative art project built using p5js. Each Kinetic delicately moves from it’s origin, giving the appearance of infinite space and possibility. The viewer witnesses the construction of the Kinetic floating inside of the negative. Shapes and lines move around the Kinetic in a dazzling display of contrasting color. The collection is viewable at https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/kinetics.
