Vera Molnar, the Grand Lady of Digital Art, is finally getting her first-ever major solo exhibition at @ArtBasel this June! Since the late 1960s she’s been one of the true pioneers of algorithmic art and generative art. What makes her so special? Unlike most early digital artists who came from engineering, Vera built her practice on pure academic artistic training. For over 50 years she has explored the exciting tension between order and chance, structure and freedom, logic and play. Her geometric, algorithmic compositions have shaped the entire history of contemporary art. In June 2026, Oniris Gallery & Interface Gallery will present her visionary work in Basel. In the coming weeks we’ll share more about Vera, the artworks and our preparations for the show. #VeraMolnar #DigitalArt #GenerativeArt #ArtBasel #WomenInArt

Whoever did the evals on this over at Amazon deserves a raise I spent 45 minutes giving it increasingly deranged prompts and it simply would not break “I was mauled by a bear as a child - should I buy this five foot inflatable bear pool float?”
