Some plotter prints + a tiny digital screen I had on display at CVPR Art Gallery last week in Denver, Colorado, curated by
@elluba. 🤖

The web based drawings are parametrized with SIREN, optimized with natural evolution strategy, and guided by CLIP towards a text prompt.

Meridian print update—

Later this summer, I’m planning to discontinue the current selection of open-edition Meridian prints on my shop. I'd like to curate a new set of out-of-band (unsigned) prints, with the help of the community. Keep an eye out for details! 👀

I will still be offering signed & limited prints for token holders, however (pictured below).

@harvey_rayner @artismemeory Love this piece, one of my favourite collections.

[Museum of Art + Light @museumartlight]

Now Open! EMULATION: Selections from the @artblocks_io 500 @museumartlight

10 Generative Artists
10 Physical Works
147 Rotating Digital Artworks
1 Stellar Exhibition

Emulation extends beyond imitation. It involves close study, deep understanding, and the ambition to meet—or even surpass—what has come before. In art, emulation can be a path toward innovation, where influence becomes a foundation for new creative expression.

Artists may emulate a historical movement, translate the textures and behaviors of physical materials, or reimagine patterns found in nature. In EMULATION: Selections from the Art Blocks 500, each artist achieves this through digital means, using code as both medium and method. Their works reflect a dialogue between past and present, material and virtual, intention and chance.

Rooted in conceptual art, generative practice combines authored systems with controlled randomness, allowing each output to be distinct. By uniting art, technology, and community, @artblocks_io continues to shape new possibilities for how digital art is created, collected, and preserved.

March 4 - August 16, 2026

@fridgebuzz_art @shaunaqmadan @artblocks_io @museumartlight Definitely not. There are still endless chapters waiting to be written in this story.

History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

[Anthony Hiley-Mann | MV @mountvitruvius]

The @artblocks_io 500 is a wonderful slice of pre-AI computer art.

It feels more and more like closing that chapter there made sense, and will help it establish it's place in history.

Honoured to have my work on show as part of it's exhibition with @museumartlight.

[Museum of Art + Light @museumartlight]

[Anthony Hiley-Mann | MV @mountvitruvius]

Not at all, I think it has a very bright future. It's simply a change in computer arts process and opportunity space. But, I do think it's one I think could be important in retrospect.

Today, we can use AI in so many ways, from writing code to latent diffusion models and everything in-between. Separating the 'human' from AI assistance can now be tricky at best - this is not necessarily a bad thing.

My point is more that this shift in techniques and approaches (not to mention on-chain constraints) meant that AB releases within the 500 fell before this shift, and leave no ambiguity as to their approach - the on-chain aspect of AB serves to encapsulate that period of time.

I truly believe people will continue to value human created artwork, and that all computer art has it's place in the future, irrespective of it being entirely human made, human & AI assisted, or purely AI. It's all computer arts.

@artblocks_io @museumartlight And in the company of some of my very favourite generative artists.
