The story of @cgwtf rescuing his neighbor's art after he passed away still makes me smile. Sure, the whole "outsider artist" narrative is a bit of a mixed bag, but I'd much rather art find a home that's not in a garbage dump. ❤️‍🔥🙏 The @saatchi_gallery show looks great, Alan!

This looks amazing, somehow I hadn't seen their work before but now I'm enthralled.

A gift from Lev @Manovich, one of my all time favorite digital culture and media writers: A single file document of all his 1991 to 2007 articles, published in PDF / Markdown / XML / Docx formats to facilitate quotation, analysis and visualization.

Reading yet another history of generative art that skips from 1970s to 2020, rather than complain I'd like to recommend @manovich's 2004 text "Abstraction and Complexity", in which he lays out the context generative art of the early 2000s was informed by.

“There is no cow on the ice” “Who peed on your sugar toast?” Excellent thread of Danish idioms, many of which have variants in Norwegian / Swedish.

Great writeup from @gorillasu about strategies for constructing irregular grids. Always happy to see creative coders blogging about their solutions. ☄️

Interesting thread about copyright and DCMA in the NFT space. Efforts to block copyminting and deceptive releases should not limit artistic freedom.

Excellent interview with @molly0xFFF laying out major concerns around blockchain + crypto: Over-engineering, solutionism, privacy and abuse, data permanence, financial speculation... AKA things that puts web3 right in line with other tech "disruption".
