A deep dive into the experimental score for dance and how it is a form of generative art for live performance. cari ann shim sham* shares the process of creating "gorgeous creatures" - a generative dance for creating sacred space - and discusses the use of generative NFTs from fxhash as devices for sound and visual production for the proscenium.

Generative Art Systems - an epistemological approach
This piece is an extended, updated version of an article, originally published on 'Becoming Human: Artificial Intelligence Magazine'.

These systems are mathematical models of computation that manipulate symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules.

mowna Tezos exhibition
This is mowna's first exhibition on the Tezos blockchain. We were drawn to Tezos for its #CleanNFT, the blossoming experimental art scene, and the exciting generative artwork coming from the fxhash platform. The artwork that is being made on the Tezos blockchain is among the most interesting to have been created, with artists pushing the limits on technologies, financial models, culture, science, nature, philosophy, media, communication, and more.
Generative Music - A Brief History and Future
We know that generative art has a rich history, but what of generative music? It too shares a rich history, yet remains a passive subcomponent within generative arts, playing an auxiliary role, or even, occasionally, added to works as an afterthought. Yet I’ve found many examples -- on both Ethereum and Tezos -- where musical elements have become more of the primary focus. Join me as I rifle through some select choices, after offering a bit of history and context to it all.

ArtUp - Vol. 4
When I started this publication, I announced that it would be weekly-ish. It's definitely been "ish" for this latest instance. Life, as it does, got in the way. This issue is a departure in another way as well. I have previously highlighted a set of artists, and I will be doing that again in future. In this issue, however, I want to highlight the broader issue of under-represented artists on the fx(hash) platform and suggest some ideas for creating a more diverse community.
