Watching Qotonana's new work "Calypso" build up in live view opens up a whole new experience. The meandering bubbles of creation that bloom and wither on screen are really quite beautiful (this is a view of #65).

The artwork is the creative process is the artwork.
"Pure Automatism Simulator" by Max Meir is visual art and process art. The graphical, colourful interfaces lead to abstract creations of strokes and splatters through user interaction, revealed only at the click of the canvas.
I like the contrast in style and colour between both layers.

"'Uncle Run' Fun Park: Ferris Wheel" by Saran Wee (Uncle RUN) creates charming dioramas of ferris wheels. The choice of palettes makes them feel anywhere from nostalgic to silly.

"Complex Assemblies" by @hal09999 makes me feel like I'm witnessing the inner workings of a living cell, watching molecules and proteins do their thing.

Good morning! Here's a beautiful random pairing I noticed when I went through my Objkt notifications: "Ruins." by @yepstt seems to put the wild 80s to rest, while "New Horizon" by Caving Wilde looks ahead (and doesn't appear to be too optimistic about the outcome).

4/4 Personally, I like to see the outputs as orbital reconnaissance images of a newly discovered world, taken by spacefaring explorers far away from home, as they stumble upon the unmistakable leftovers of an ancient, advanced civilization.

3/4 The title implies a hierarchy of cultural development; in the description, Markusiewicz explains how the concept of barbarism always derogatorily refers to "the other". He leaves open who the barbarians are in the context of these images, however.
Are they the people living in the tiny buildings between the invasive structures? Or are the structures the signs of a barbaric intrusion into a peaceful civilization living there? What other interpretations could there be for us?

2/4 This juxtaposition of nature and incomprehensible architecture gives rise to feelings of awe, wonder and sorrow, and reminds me a lot of what I feel when I look at the artist's previous masterpiece "Hollow", while aesthetic and subject immediately made me think of @monotau's equally astonishing 2022 #fxhash project "Cradle".

1/4 "Barbarians" by Jacek Markusiewicz impresses me like no other recent work of #GenerativeArt has.
The images of majestic mountain slopes and neatly arranged fields – with occasional buildings strewn in between them – at first feel strangely detached and bland, thanks to a distant, aerial point of view and bleached, bright colours. Yet the way the landscapes are unexpectedly interrupted by smooth, deep, geometrical gashes appears alien and out of place.

Having "Metakinetic" by @julien_espagnon plotted with acrylic markers and hanging on your wall must be quite awesome. I love the bold shapes and vivid colours!
