TGAM First Anniversary
TGAM turns one and what a year has been. On the 31th of December 2021, a group of developers and engineers started "The Generative Art Museum", a project dedicated to spread the word about generative art. At that time, generative art was pretty much unknown. Our mission: to change that.
TGAM Issue #04: Intersection
The fourth edition of our signature event “Issue” marks an important moment in the generative art ecosystem, it has proven that it is not hype or a temporary trend we’re experiencing, and as digital art keeps penetrating our society, many possibilities are unfolding above the simple act of collecting.

Generative Music - A Brief History and Future
We know that generative art has a rich history, but what of generative music? It too shares a rich history, yet remains a passive subcomponent within generative arts, playing an auxiliary role, or even, occasionally, added to works as an afterthought.

Join me as I rifle through some select choices, after offering a bit of history and context to it all.

All about that grain
Images in digital art and photography are frequently purposefully perturbed with grainy textures, often intending to evoke a tactile feeling and to add an ounce of ruggedness to an artwork. In this manner, grain is a valuable tool on your generative artist tool belt to elevate your artwork. This article discusses several techniques to achieve grain with p5, texture overlays, SVG filters, and shaders. We’ll discuss each one in great detail and the ups and downsides.
