Jason Salavon

My first truly generative work, made in 93, for my undergrad thesis show @UTAustin. Created with a Mac SE, office printer, and hypertalk. Maybe 15 pgs an hr overnight. It was thrilling to wake up to the surprises of autonomous generativity. Still is. salavon.com/work/CarpetMak…

good times in Austin Data Made Visible in Contemporary Art at SXSW with Blanton Museum of Art artforum.com/video/data-mad… via @PenskeMedia

same woman, eight ways (same prompt, seed, vid params, model, etc. just bending weights)

Looking forward to this conversation tomorrow @Artforum @BlantonMuseum @ThomaArt @sxsw

@maxkarlan Gm Max!

gm The Smith-Jones Checkerboard (2011) by @Salavon

This piece is my favorite failure

GM, Today’s Select: @Salavon Sapiens (2024) Hundreds of encyclopedic entries collapsed into one generative image-where history, computation, and cultural memory converge. Edition of 5 (+2 AP) Archival pigment print DMs open. Available works, link below ↓

@Grokipedia, I'm not Canadian and I wasn't in this show: "the 2015 Wrong Biennial, a decentralized digital exhibition featuring Canadian contributors like Jason Salavon, which archived over 500 online pavilions to democratize access beyond traditional galleries."

The mean average of every guy in my graduating high school class. Artwork I made in 1998

Every Playboy Centrefold, The Decades (normalised), by Jason Salavon, (2002)

smone shd maybe write abt the irony of jason salavon’s avg pixel art in the context of rise of gen ai diffusion models

TODEM from @Salavon is still one of my favorite tokenized bodies of work yet. I highly recommened taking a few mintues to break out of your doomscroll and explore Jason's "hyper GIF tapestry". latentculture dot com / todem

@artnome Big time good luck!

@Salavon Trying to get to 900 rated before I turn 50. It’s a very slooooooow process.

Hair is long enough to break the headbands back out. Got a few “are NFTs still a thing?” and “I hate NFTs” comments. Feels good.

Happy 10th birthday Ethereum TODEM.0713 by @Salavon & @latentculture The AI generated prompt: "A digital apparition of Ethereum appears before you, its form constantly shifting and glitching in a way that seems almost comical."

like the juxtaposition with the great George Tooker

@phantom_scribbs You could definitely get a fart-driven lava lamp that looks as good (or better). Data is highly plastic

Question for the AI/Gen Art enjoyers Posted this in Grailers DAO discord but maybe somebody here has a more sophisticated explanation

Thanks,@aaronpenne. @TinaRiversRyan knocked this show out
