I see many of you were surprised by the results of this poll. I’m more surprised by your surprise 🙃 #generativeRenaissance

What this poll tells us is profound. I wouldn’t even be surprised if there are more people who caught an interest in #generativeArt in the last six months than there were people in the entire scene even a year ago.

Generative art has a long history but it has remained confidential until now.

This is why we need to help newcomers feel welcome, included, and connect them with the history of the art form.

This knowledge shouldn’t be used to gatekeep and decide who is the OG-est of them all, but to inspire a new generation of generative artists and pay homage to those who came before us.

Of course if you *are* into gate keeping you can always buy my OG generative artist badge 🙃
