@postanika @LEGIO_X_ Well put.

didn’t we get into nfts in the first place so we wouldn’t have to worry about art fairs and now all we do is worry about art fairs and make sure not to mention nfts?

@PurzBeats That was how it was in jobs in 1980 when I started programming. 120 staff; Univack 1100 mf; start on paper; do the debugging on paper; eventually get access to a monitor (shared by 3 programmers). It changed quite fast though.

You think vibe coding is hard? I went to computer college in the year 2000, they made us write code on paper and the teacher looked at it before we were even allowed to type it into a computer. 🤣

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

Pixel art first addressed in MINIMAL (1984) - it was not a thing in those early days, pixels were just embarressing. Same now really. #pixelart #pixels VISIT microartsgroup.com/pixel-art-mini…

Live ART Talk London 15 April James Bloom Alex May “Move Fast and Break Things: Control, Progress and the Black Box” Computer Arts Society CAS. Tech acceleration - good/bad? Wed 15th Apr. BCS Moorgate London and online 18:00 GMT LINK in comment @computerartssoc

@tomppa1_art @Interface_art Yes

@microartsgroup @Interface_art The work is primarily an institutional history so it misses the most interesting part of digital art's history in my opinion - Democratized roots and networked art.

Who knows, knows. The machine didn’t just make art… it started a revolution the art world tried to kill. “When the Machine Made Art” by Grant D. Taylor is still the definitive, no BS history of computer art. Pioneers, decades before AI. A Must read. #GenerativeArt #ComputerArt #ArtHistory
