The creation of Immure, and the path it's forged.

An introduction to Ty Vek and their debut project, Commune. Also, some boilerplate code for setting up Vanilla JS projects using SVG.

The question I had on my mind when starting this process was whether a natural language processing AI like GPT-3 could be creative. One of the avenues that ended up being disappointing was the creation of metaphors and poetry. GPT would combine and rearrange existing metaphors into semi-meaningful sentences, sometimes outright stealing poetry. Unlike DALL.E 2, GPT is only able to generate text and not diffuse/generate images. To circumvent this, I decided to try to make it create generative artworks from the p5js JavaScript library. I knew GPT could create simple code and source it from a large codebase already presents in the training data. What I wanted to see was whether I could push the system to produce something that could be considered “original”. This article follows selected inputs and outputs from the generative art journey between GPT-3 and me, a collaborative article. I have never written a line of Javascript code in my life.

A quick overview of some main concepts and technical parts of “The spectrum of nature”. With an emphasis on keeping it fun and light.

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

A recap of the Art Basel contest and an introduction to Artifice.

This project is an animated painting inspired by the long tradition of hanami (flower viewing) The blossoming tree animations have unique leaves and flowers in every token. But at the same time each one has infinite variations because the tree grows every time you play it in different ways. You can also change the layout and resolution as desired or download a high-res snapshot. The flowers are also interactive. I hope you enjoy the experience.

Some insights about the making of the project "Stir", released on fx(hash). From hand-woven swatches to computer generated images.
