Tangential to the main topic, what generative art artists are you following and/or where did you look to find them?

I found a couple myself (@D_VISION7 @lv374 @beesandbombs @HAL09999), but ran into roadblocks trying to find more. There are a few fractals here and there, etc. Shadertoy seemed mostly like math demos/challenges rather than art, or at least it doesn't have an easy way to find the artsy ones.

Can only recommend checking out https://www.fxhash.xyz/. It's an NFT platform for generative art. Think of NFTs what you will but that platform really brought together lots of artists and in my opinion the field has advanced a lot these past two years due to that platform existing.

Personally I really like @KilledByAPixel and @piterpasma simply from a technical perspective. If you're into vector / plotting work @zancan is definitely worth checking out.

On mastodon you can follow hashtags, so follow #generative, #procedural, #creativecoding etc, not just people; you get a lot of serendipitous finds this way. What shows up on the different tags varies a bit: #generativeart picks up a lot more AI-generated guff, not interesting to me at all, while #generative tends to get less of that and more hand-coded art.

I do find a lot of NFT pollution in these tags so I've got words related to that filtered out.

I follow some actual people too and you can find good follows from who they RT but following tags made mastodon much better for me than t**ter ever was, and actually makes it worthwhile posting with tags.
