Bluerain
Bluerain visualizes the Bluesky firehose as Matrix-style falling text rain — each character stream is a live post flowing through the AT Protocol. A beautiful way to sense the scale and flow of social network activity.
Artificial Images: Derrick Schultz's Generative AI Practice
Artificial Images is Derrick Schultz's practice combining generative AI art with ML education — workshops on diffusion models, ComfyUI, and computational filmmaking for artists and designers. A sustained bridge between the ML research community and working artists.
Botto: AI Artist with a Million-Dollar Track Record
Botto is an AI artist by Mario Klingemann that generates 350 artworks weekly, has a community of token holders vote on favorites, and mints one NFT per week — earning $1M in its first five weeks. A real implementation of human-AI collaborative taste formation.
multimodal.art
multimodal.art is a gallery and community for AI-generated art from multimodal models — DALL-E, CLIP-guided diffusion, and related text-to-image systems. Captured the early 2022 moment before Stable Diffusion democratized AI image generation.
Self-Organising Textures
Distill's 2021 interactive article on Neural Cellular Automata for texture synthesis — a small local rule, learned via gradient descent, produces complex global textures through iteration. One of the clearest demos that local rules can encode rich global structure.
Do Androids Grow Electric Plants?
Alex's technical notes on SPACEFILLER's digital plant simulations — particle systems with repulsive forces, spring connections, friction, and Boids-inspired velocity matching that produce organic-looking lo-fi animated plants. A good introduction to particle simulation forces for creative coding.
Grok {Shan, Shui}* — Understanding Generative Art Code
Viktor Zverok's deep-dive into understanding the Shan, Shui* generative art codebase — a JavaScript program that generates ink-wash style Chinese landscape paintings. An 'advent of understanding' tracing how algorithmic art is constructed from procedural noise and layered rendering.
Noise in Creative Coding
Varun Vachhar's deep dive into noise functions for creative coding — covering Perlin noise, simplex noise, domain warping, and fractal Brownian motion with beautiful visual examples. The go-to reference for understanding how noise generates organic, natural-looking patterns.
mlart.co — Machine Learning Art Gallery
mlart.co is a curated gallery of machine learning art projects — generative works created using neural networks, GANs, style transfer, and other ML techniques. A showcase of creative applications of AI at the intersection of art and research.
Little Planet Procedural
A midterm project from a procedural generation course by Alan Luo — a 'Little Planet' generator using algorithmic terrain and environment generation. The source URL is no longer accessible, but the project sits in the tradition of noise-based procedural world generation.
Tiny Subversions: Projects
Darius Kazemi's projects page showcasing his Twitter bots and generative art work — saved from an Eyeo 2016 presentation where he demonstrated how small algorithmic systems can produce surprising, humanlike outputs. One of the most thoughtful practitioners of bot-art.
Inconvergent: Generative Art by Anders Hoff
Anders Hoff's (inconvergent) generative art site — algorithmic drawings that simulate natural processes like erosion, growth, and diffusion. His work is notable for making mathematical processes legible as aesthetic objects.
Gifpop: Custom GIF Cards for Everyone
Gifpop was a Kickstarter project by Sha Hwang and Rachel Binx turning animated GIFs into lenticular prints — physical cards that animate as you tilt them. A delightful collision of internet culture and traditional print media.
San Francisco Bay Bridge + 25,000 Algorithmically Controlled LEDs
Leo Villareal's Bay Lights installation on the San Francisco Bay Bridge — 25,000 algorithmically controlled LED lights turning the western span into the world's largest light sculpture. Launched March 2013; the algorithm produced a different display every night for two years.
Josh Nimoy: Creative Technologist
Josh Nimoy's portfolio — a creative technologist known for algorithmic art, the JMyron motion detection library, and his work on the visual effects for Tron: Legacy. The URL points to his projects section.
