By leveraging formulae, artists can imbue their creations with a sense of dynamism and unpredictability, leading to artworks that evolve over time or respond to external stimuli. These algorithms can range from simple mathematical formulas to complex procedural processes. They dictate how elements such as shapes, colors, textures, and patterns are generated and arranged within the artwork.

Alejandro has been always been fascinated by technology, computers, and programming. In 2021, he discovered the fields of Generative art and AI image-synthesis, which have allowed him to connect his interests on art history, aesthethics, architecture and technology in experimental and unexpected ways. Since then, he's been using blockchain technologies and platforms, mainly ETH and Tezos, to create and collect generative and AI artworks.

# About the TGAM

Welcome to [The Generative Art Museum](https://tgam.xyz). TGAM is a project dedicated to celebrate and promulgate art made by autonomous systems (non-human) that can independently create artwork.

TGAM is an evolving idea that will challenge our preconception of experiencing, collecting and sharing art. Our goal is to participate in this new era by supporting generative artists in every sense. We will schedule four exhibitions a year: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

Our goal is simple: to spread the word about generative art in all shapes and forms. We embrace any piece where humans interact with automated tools to create unique pieces.

Blockchain has created the perfect playground for a digital renaissance: affordable computers and easy-to-use scripting tools are the icing on the cake for a revolution in the generative art like the world has never seen before. And we are here to talk about it and share this exciting journey.
