I used the general lack of interest in NFTs to collect some classic pieces of generative art that I've had an eye on for some time. 1: Caught in a Void #328 by M. J. Lindow 2: vapour trails #8 by Jeres 3: Shattered Moons #168 by Lionel Radisson 4: Reconnaissance #263 by TENDER x Nat Sarkissian

Collage of 2 x 2 square images showing the generative artworks mentioned on the post.

I wrote an #Artmiration thread about "Torrent" by Jeremy Schoenher (jeres) and "Rückkopplung" by @pxlshrd.bsky.social on Mastodon. The two artworks engage in an intimate and surprising dialogue about memory and life experiences. genart.social/@boringold/1...

The photo series of pedestrians and passengers on misty roads by Ratnadwip Saha is beautiful. The soft light of blue hour or shaded sunshine radiates a sense of mystery, and the silhouettes of people disappearing in the distance tickles a feeling of wanderlust. oncyber.io/spaces/VxryR...

Screenshot of a virtual gallery wall showing four photos in portrait orientation, three showing walking figures, one showing a person on a bike next to a small car. All images appear to have been taken on rural roads shaded by big trees in the blue hour of early morning or evening.

My new #Artmiration write–up "Stories of Sponges and Survival" is about Paweł Grzelak's hauntingly beautiful and fascinating works "Gemmules" and "Symplasma: Experiment". Find out how the artist put a spotlight on an unexpected aquatic life form and made it shine! www.fxhash.xyz/article/stor...

Collage of six thin, vertical slices of artworks from "Gemmules" and "Symplasma: Experiment" next to each other. The images are black and white and show black, irregular, wiry frames on a white background ("Gemmules"), and intricate, wiry, white and grey structures in stark black and white images that resemble vintage photos ("Symplasma: Experiment").

Love it! Had to think of a picture I made long ago.

Composition of two macro photos, each filling a half of a square picture. The upper half consists of a red, rounded, shiny surface, the lower one of a multitude of blue pixels blurring towards the left side if the image.

Over on Mastodon, I published a thread about the majestic and mythical "Quasi Dragon Studies" by @harvey_rayner. Why don't you take a look there? genart.social/@boringold/1109451530… #Artmiration

"Rückkopplung #102" is my mint of this beautiful project by @pxlshrd.bsky.social and TENDER art that captures emotions and biographies in beautiful abstract images. It has pink waves, lots of resistance, a couple of mementos and the ghosts of some moths. Love it! #Artmiration

Abstract digital artwork in pink, purple, turquoise, yellow and black, arranged in irregular areas that show textures resembling that of physical paintings

The way Midjourney interprets abstract prompts is really amazing to me. I mean, look what it made of this prompt: "Is happiness a journey or a destination? Feels so fucking tiresome to keep going." #AIknowtheway

Is happiness a journey or a destination? Feels so fucking tiresome to keep going. Surreal cinematic movie still.

1/ "In Pursuit of Happines" by Lewis Osborne isn't the first artwork to visualize this struggle (watch "Rat Race" by Steve Cutts, for example). Yet the artist's unmistakable looping style fits the theme perfectly! #Artmiration

"Grid in the window" by Schiftcopy is a study of structure and "Arpeggiator" by Pixelwank is a study of colours. Love their simplicity and dialogue. "Arpeggiator #71" "Arpeggiator #72" "GITW #11" "GITW #10"

Four minimal abstract artworks on a virtual white wall:

Grid in the window #10 (irregularly arranged soft blue vertical rectangles on a soft pink background), Grid in the window #11 (irregularly arranged rectangular areas of small purple squares on a soft pink background), Arpeggiator #71 (pixelated grid of lines in grey on a dark grey background in an orange frame), Arpeggiator #72 (twisted pixelated grid of lines in dark grey on a light grey background in a dark turquoise frame)

"Chromacore Cosmos" is a collection of 8 images I created with AI and selectively edited with resolution changes, palette simplification and heavy JPEG compression. I like the results as phone wallpapers. objkt.com/explore/tokens/1?faContra…

I used to roam the streets looking for street art. @nubplus.bsky.social shares my love for graffiti, stencils and lamp post crocheting. Their latest project "Street Soul" is inspired by it and shows a beautiful blend of layers and styles.  Here's my mint #27!

Abstract artwork resembling graffiti on cardboard.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Studio Captain's allusively abstract art. His latest work "Jawbreaker" captures its title to the point with its fierce red background and the jagged shape.👊 #Artmiration #DigitalArt #AbstractArt www.niftygateway.com/collections/ch…

Abstract artwork. A V shape made up of several bold black, geometric dashes and some thin white lines on a red background.

"Mint" by unsleeping_ik is a nice take on the theme of colourful isometric perspective. The stacks of colourful discs not only resemble futuristic cities, but would also feel at home at any poker table.  ♥️♠️♦️♣️  Here's my mint #25!

Generative artwork. Isometric view of colourful stacks of round and square chips of alternating, muted colours, resembling a futuristic city and stacks of poker chips.

"Cyanotypes #35" and "Cyanotypes #278" by Leonardo Solaas harmonize by colour and subject with "DIATOMS" and "DIATOMS #017" by @urbandrone.bsky.social. Both beautifully depict non–existent specimen of existing tiny marine organisms. Link to my gallery "Now": deca.art/boringoldguy/now

Love how recent works by @yepstt.bsky.social look in context: "Alif" between "SND 01" and "SND 50", borrowing patterns and palettes, breaking the grid with curves; "Cp - Celebrating" linking sandy colours of "delusions#07" to lines of "black N life #8". deca.art/boringoldguy/now

More art from my collection that needs to be seen: "The Grass #8" by @tuukz.bsky.social is an early, unrecognized gem of generative glitch. Suggested by the title, the synchronized dance of lines could resemble blades of grass in the wind that every now and then get blown apart by a storm.

#fxhackathon2023 is about custom minting interfaces for fx(params). After awesome "How Moons Are Made" by Richard Boeser, I'm fascinated by (somewhat creepy) "Strange Mirror" by mataleone. #42 (me–couldn't get it clearer) #31 (EarlReno.tez) #23 (Brad Connell) #24 (TenebrisVia)

Abstract generative image of a human face that is barely recognizable; the features are composed of dense, fur–like strands in turquoise, pink and orange.

Before "How Moons Are Made", Richard Boeser caught my attention with his hyper–dynamic, vibrant project "Zug".  I'm quite happy to have #120 in my collection now!

Abstract digital artwork in hues of pink and blue with white of bold lines converging in a single point on the right side of the canvas, resembling a blurred picture of a train driving past an observer standing in a station.

"Speed of Dark #241" is a beautiful iteration of one of the early TENDER x collaborations. The project was created by Laurent Houdard and is a tribute to photograms and the early days of photography. Thank you, riiis, for parting with it!

Black and white image, landscape orientation, resembling a photogram. It shows several long, thin bright lines at intervals and angles towards each other that either are a single object that rolled across the film, or several identical objects arranged on it.

Art from my collection that needs to be seen: "Quadrangle of My Being #140" by Wanda Oliver This feels a lot like me. I love how the project is comprised of multiple layers (like we all are) that complement, cover and contradict each other.

Abstract artwork, framed in a serious looking blue, the text "Quadrangle #749231" on the bottom and a set of coordinates on each side. The image consists of some bright green scribbles on top of irregular textures in harmonious shades of grey and brown that resemble abstracted satellite images of urban settlements.

Gm! This project is lovely: "Luck Tiles from the Old Country" by TolstoyPlastic lets you create whimsical tiles with three random symbols on it. It feels a bit like rolling the story dice my kids have. What's your tale for this? #DigitalArt #10 (princess/herring/cannabis)

More art from my collection that needs to be seen: "cpc 030623" and "cpn 140723" by @thresfold.bsky.social Like day and night, like the ground below and the stars above, these two artworks complement each other beautifully.

An abstract image the colour of sand. Soft gradients condense into crater–like circles that make the image resemble a satellite image of a deserted moon. A thin grid is imposed over the image.

An abstract image in black and dark blues resembling a night sky. The image is comprised of bold dots arranged on an intricate grid. Three bright dots resemble stars in a night sky.

More art from my collection that needs to be seen: "Tidal Friction #263" by r0zko Stories of sand and sea make me reflect on the passage of time and the steady forces of erosion. A round framing suggests seeing the scenery through a porthole, giving the artwork an air of exploration and adventure.

Abstract generative art image of overlapping waves in orange, greenish yellow, blueish green and deep blue, overlaid by noise, framed in a circle on a deep blue background. The image is reminiscent of seeing a desert landscape through a porthole.

More art from my collection that needs to be seen: "The Pink Roads" by Ratnadwip Saha The photographer's daughter aptly said: "Pink is happy!" Looking at the girl in the picture as she is walking through rays of sunlight, hopefully into a bright future, I agree. #Artmiration

Colours and the overarching narrative of the interconnectedness of things make @pxlshrd.bsky.social's artworks stand out. In palettes reminiscent of rust, acid, and lilac, the artist explores networks on microscopic and cosmic scales. Here's a write–up I did: bit.ly/46HIPKb #Artmiration

More art from my collection that needs to be seen: "Shadow Cast - Structure 4" by @doppelbel.bsky.social and Jorge Ornelas A reinterpretation of the artist's physical sculptures, it captivated me with a dynamic composition and tones of muted neon and copper reminiscent of a steampunk night club.

Scenes "Rad" by @barrysutton.bsky.social The AI–generated black and white images give rise to a warm feeling of nostalgia for a pop–cultural youth that probably nobody ever had. L: rad_004 from "The Beach" R: rad_275 from "The Ravers"

AI–generated image resembling a black and white photograph. A young white woman resting on a bed in a room surrounding the bed on three sides with shelves full of belongings. Two surf boards are standing at the wall behind her, the image is rich in textures and patterns.
