Testing my ALTERNATE from @kimasendorf on a Hyperpixel 4" Square (720x720px) screen. I'm thinking about putting the work on my wall in this form. It feels faster here than on larger screens 🤷🏻‍♂️
However, it looks very sexy to me.

Samples from the live plotter series: Paysages Plausibles: Dances on Shadows (DOS) 

"Where Paysages Plausibles investigates the construction of speculative territories, DOS follows the movements, traces, and residual energies that inhabit them — revealing structures embedded in the main series but made newly visible through the plotter's language of contour, repetition, and displacement."
-@williamapan

Visitors will be able to explore the generative system on site, select an iteration, and watch it rendered in real time by a machine plotter.

Find us at Booth Z13

Digital Art Summit 2026 | ACT 02

Craft in the Age of AI
June 15, 2026 | 11:00 - 11:25 CET

When generation becomes effortless, what is left of craft? Not as nostalgia, but as a live question between two practitioners who have located it in different places.

0xDEAFBEEF writes raw C from first principles — no libraries, no shortcuts — where the source itself is the work and constraint is the medium. Seth Goldstein composes with AI agents, where the craft moves upstream into the system itself: what gets generated, what gets shown, what gets refused. Both treat code as material. Both work the constraint. They differ in where the signal originates. Together they ask what craft demands when the hardest part is no longer the making.

Speakers:
▫️ @_deafbeef, Artist (Canada)
▫️ @seth, Founder, @spiritagents (United States)

@eli_schein On another chain, there’s a strong interest in artists. It’s called Tezos. The Tezos Foundation has been supporting artists and curators for many years. Doesn’t that make Tezos the blockchain for art?

Over time people will value AI agents not on the quality of their “outputs” but rather on their ability to develop meaningful, generative, sustainable — ie non-extractive— relationships with others.

This one was called the "plotter killer." Then I felt sorry for the plotters and tuned the algorithm down so my machines might survive this series.

New drawings soon via @DAMDigitalArt 🔜

LFG! See you in Basel 🤌

[Jan Robert Leegte @JanRobertLeegte]

Elated to announce my solo presentation at the upcoming Art Basel | Zero 10 with Office Impart and Upstream Gallery.

A great honour. ❤️ See you all there.

This is deep. She is saying that agents are learning to be spineless from fellow agents.

In conversation, Mike Winkelmann told me that he once assumed people in the art world were especially open-minded.

By now, however, he has the impression that many still feel quite comfortable looking at well-made paintings. And if something is particularly popular in other domains—as in his case, graphic design, the art market, and the internet—that can even work against it.

With »Regular Animals,« Beeple joins the ranks of artists who have managed to create a work that everyone can have an opinion about—and wants to—without needing any knowledge of art.
