The first generative artist I have ever heard about was @JoshuaDavis, around~2003. A friend of mine mentioned it to me. He said he's the guy from photoshop lol. I didn't know who he was. Since then every time I opened Ps I could not not see his name in the list of designers.

Who's the first generative artist you ever heard about? #generative #generativeart #hicetnunc #hicetnunc2000 #digitalart #computational

At that time I wasn't into coding or generative art. Mostly into #animation, #video, #experimental electronic music and other things. I did some little coding in flash but that was it. (The thread continues...)

The First generative artist that actually got my attention was Jared Tarbell. Here's an article about his work "Jared Tarbell's online generative art | Rhizome" https://rhizome.org/community/34280/ on @rhizome

And this is another more recent article about Tarbell written by @artnome , who's also very proactive in the #NFTCommunity particularly with @hicetnunc2000
"Interview With Generative Artist Jared Tarbell — Artnome" https://www.artnome.com/news/2020/8/24/interview-with-generative-artist-jared-tarbell

And this is the piece by Tarbell that really got me thinking:" how the hell did he do that??" #generativeart #creativecoding #NFTs #generative

Let's continue this thread. The book that started me with #generativeart was this by Matt Pearson. It is probably the best introduction I've found so far. I didn't start with this straight away. Before @ProcessingOrg I was tinkering with #Flash and #Actionscript (To be continued)

I forgot to attach the picture of the book!
