Generative Unfoldings is an online exhibit of generative art, running live in the browser and consisting entirely of free/libre/open-source software. I am curating the exhibit. Sarah Rosalena Balbuena-Brady, D. Fox Harrell, Lauren Lee McCarthy, and Parag K. Mital worked with me to select fourteen artworks. The show will feature:
- Can the Subaltern Speak? by Behnaz Farahi
- Concrete by Matt DesLauriers
- Curse of Dimensionality by Philipp Schmitt
- Gender Generator by Encoder Rat Decoder Rat
- Greed by Maja Kalogera
- Hexells by Alexander Mordvintsev
- Letter from C by Cho Hye Min
- Pac Tracer by Andy Wallace
- P.S.A.A. by Juan Manuel Escalante
- Seedlings_: From Humus by Qianxun Chen & Mariana Roa Oliva
- Self Doubting System by Lee Tusman
- Someone Tell the Boyz by Arwa Mboya
- Songlines by Ágoston Nagy
- This Indignant Page: The Politics of the Paratextual by Karen ann Donnachie & Andy Simionato
There will be a (Screen) manifestation of Generative Unfoldings, which will let people run the artworks in their browsers. In addition, a (Code) manifestation will provide a repository of all of the free/libre/open-source source code for these client-side artworks. This exhibit is a project of MIT’s CAST (Center for Art, Science & Technology) and part of the Unfolding Intelligence symposium. An opening event will be held on April 1, 2021. This post will be updated with details and links.
