Collection · Generative art

Generative art prints, numbered art editions

Generative art is an image no hand ever drew: a rule, a bit of bounded randomness, and the computer works out the rest. Fractals, Lorenz attractors, cellular automata, Voronoi, reaction-diffusion: around forty algorithms run in the studio, and every day one work goes out as a limited edition, numbered and signed. Not a wallpaper, a real print on fine art paper.

What is generative art?

You write a rule, repeat it thousands of times, add a pinch of randomness so it breathes, and out comes an image nobody could have drawn by hand. That's algorithmic art: the artist writes the system, not the picture. Some works are fractals, others strange attractors, cellular automata, force fields. One family, a thousand faces.

How are these works generated?

Everything starts from a seed. That seed feeds a pseudo-random generator, and the same seed always produces exactly the same image, here and anywhere else. Nothing is painted by hand, nothing is retouched: the algorithm computes, the render lands. Uniqueness first: the seed and parameters are frozen into a fingerprint, so the work can't exist twice. Authenticity next: that fingerprint is signed with a cryptographic key (Ed25519), and the certificate that ships with your print is verifiable by anyone, without going through us.

Why a print, not just a file?

Because a file buried in a folder never gets looked at. A generative work deserves to be large: the detail is everywhere, right into the corners. We print at 300 DPI on fine art paper, in several formats. Each print is numbered and ships with its signed certificate. Once the edition sells out, it's gone for good, the work doesn't go back into production.

A new work every day

We publish one work a day, just one. Around forty algorithms take turns, from the Mandelbrot set to the Lorenz attractor, from Hilbert curves to reaction-diffusion. Come back tomorrow for the next one, or dig through the works already published just above.

Frequently asked questions

What is generative art?

Art created by an algorithm rather than by hand: a rule, a bit of bounded randomness, and the computer works out the image. It's also called algorithmic art. Here, every work is unique, numbered and signed.

Are your works really unique?

Yes. The seed and parameters of each work are frozen into a unique fingerprint, and the edition is limited. Once the last copy sells, the work doesn't go back into production.

What is the certificate of authenticity for?

It ships with your print, carrying the work's fingerprint and its cryptographic signature (Ed25519). Anyone can verify the certificate matches the artwork, without going through us.

What formats and print quality?

300 DPI on fine art paper, in several formats. Production is on demand, then the print ships straight to your door.
