Generative art did not begin with the computer.
Interface Gallery (@Interface_art) and Lohaus Gallery (@LOHAUSGALLERY) have unveiled Harm van den Dorpel's (@harmvddorpel) Entfaltung for Zero 10: Generation at Art Basel Miami Beach (@ArtBasel), Dec 4 to 6: 36 unique generative works and 12 plotter drawings finished by hand. He starts from Emma Kunz's pendulum drawings, rebuilds her radial constructions in code, which he calls algorithmic archaeology, then lifts the points into space and sets them moving. The algorithm is stored entirely on Ethereum: three new blocks rotate each drawing, a fourth sets its next configuration. He treats the language model he worked with the way Kunz treated her pendulum. Collector Tristan Spits (@TristanSpits) has already added one to his collection.

The museum writes back.
Jenny Holzer has put words in public space for over 45 years, on posters, illuminated signs, projections and stone. For J'AI VU, made with and for the Musée d'Orsay's 40th anniversary, the museum supplies part of the text itself: fragments of its own documentation and writing from the period its collection covers. The brochure lists more than 750 texts from 424 sources and 73 authors. On view in Paris through Feb 21, 2027.
