Generative & data-wrangling from way back | Stuff in perm of MoMA, Met, Whitney, LACMA, MFAH, AIC, | Prof at UChicago

[Jason Salavon @Salavon]

My first truly generative work, made in 93, for my undergrad thesis show @UTAustin. Created with a Mac SE, office printer, and hypertalk. Maybe 15 pgs an hr overnight. It was thrilling to wake up to the surprises of autonomous generativity. Still is. https://t.co/0lqjpDPmoV

AI is much better than me at communicating with bureaucratic institutions

[Jason Salavon @Salavon]

@mattmcd Ha hadn’t thought of that. Easily faked anyway so might only be a temporary signal of human touch

[Jason Salavon @Salavon]

As GenXer who still double spaces after periods, I’m thinking it’s about to make a comeback as an anti-AI signal.

@Grokipedia, I'm not Canadian and I wasn't in this show:

"the 2015 Wrong Biennial, a decentralized digital exhibition featuring Canadian contributors like Jason Salavon, which archived over 500 online pavilions to democratize access beyond traditional galleries."

Happy 10th birthday Ethereum

TODEM.0713 by @Salavon & @latentculture

The AI generated prompt: "A digital apparition of Ethereum appears before you, its form constantly shifting and glitching in a way that seems almost comical."

[Jason Salavon @Salavon]

like the juxtaposition with the great George Tooker

[atomless @atomless]

I have long admired @Salavon’s Amalgamations and recently wrote about them in the Anxiety and Apophenia chapter of my book Predictive Capital. https://t.co/RKjHVy1Qec
