With over 20 years of experience in digital art, I am happy to help you build your collection – from early pioneers to today’s innovators. From Vera to Harm, from Rafaël to Manfred. Send me a DM if you're looking for a specific work of art!

Proud to present the new show Senescenence of @harmvddorpel in collab with @drmiminguyen in New York. A few screenshots as a sneak preview. Visit the opening at Friday April 3! Sent me a dm if you want to see more or an invitation for the opening.

@creativeCodeSln agree!

If the work by Hiroshi Kawano from ZKM was also here, this could be the best generations of generative arts.

@harmvddorpel hanging next to Mondrian in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam @StedelijkMuseum? Yes, his generative work Markov's Window was right beside Mondrian's iconic grids. Code meets classic modernism. Digital art claiming its place among the masters. #Stedelijk #Mondrian

.@harmvddorpel's Mutant Garden Seeder (2021) shook the art world: 512 NFTs that perpetually mutate, endlessly evolving, never the same twice. It fused immutable blockchain with always changing digital organisms, sparking massive media buzz and inspiring the next wave of living/on-chain generative art. A true benchmark.

@wandr_bkwise Absolutely!

@Interface_art Love the Nake-Nees-Molnár nod. Those pioneers planted seeds we're still watching grow. Van Dorpel proves the lineage is alive and mutating beautifully.

Most artists paint with brushes. Harm van Dorpel breeds art with code. The Dutch pioneer designs systems that evolve like living organisms, using genetic algorithms to create, mutate and select digital works. A direct bridge between the 1960s computer art pioneers (Nake, Nees, Molnár) and today’s generative scene. Let’s dive in🧬 /1

Harm doesn’t follow trends. He builds the systems that define the next era of art. From the plotter artists of the 60s straight to today’s generative pioneers. He has always been steps ahead.

He also co-founded left gallery in 2015. One of the very first platforms for downloadable digital artworks with proper provenance and ownership /5

Frieder Nake's "Hommage à Paul Klee" (1965): A plotter drawing from Stuttgart, born from ALGOL code alongside Georg Nees. Paths inspired by Klee, where algorithms meet intuition. #GenerativeArt #FriederNake

@Noahbolanowski An amazing exhibition! I vividly remember visiting it!

David Hockney drawing on an iPad at the Louisiana Museum Café, April 2011.

David Hockney on digital art: 'I just happen to be an artist who uses the iPad, I'm not an iPad artist. It's just a medium.' Tech is a tool – embrace it, experiment, create! From Quantel Paintbox to iPad magic. #DigitalArt #DavidHockney

Did you know that before iPads, David Hockney pioneered digital art in 1986 ? He worked on the Quantel Paintbox for BBC's 'Painting With Light' Episode. Paintbox: in short, was Photoshop a decade before it existed & was the machine that shifted computer graphics from computerized vector into photorealism. A highly specialized computer released amongst the PC-era, few had the privilege to use it in its prime (Haring and Hockney for instance) - even fewer today as only a handful survive. Check out this BBC show with David and the paintbox youtube.com/watch?v=UO0_1I…

The full "220 for 2020" project from David Hockney features over 220 iPad works, capturing the changing seasons and everyday beauty around Hockney's Normandy home. They were compiled into a very special book. Send me DM for more info about the book.

At 83, Hockney continues to show that digital mediums like the iPad are legitimate tools for profound, observational art. These pieces from 2020 feel both immediate and enduring. A gentle reminder of how technology can deepen our way of seeing /5

"My Second Drawing of Beuvron-en-Auge" depicts a charming French village scene in vivid, flowing lines—people, paths, and rooftops circling a central point. Another fine illustration of how Hockney's iPad sketches become timeless, collectible art /4

David Hockney’s "220 for 2020" iPad drawings created during lockdown in Normandy are available at the gallery. These spontaneous digital works, translated into archival inkjet, remain a striking example of his ongoing exploration of digital tools in art. Send a DM if interested #DavidHockney #DigitalArt /1
