Generative Art on Gamma
The beauty of code art lies in its fusion of creativity and logic. Artists define a set of rules or algorithms that guide the artwork's creation, introducing elements of randomness and automation. This can result in unique and dynamic pieces that evolve over time or react to user inputs. The process often involves languages like Processing, p5.js, and Python, among others, which are designed to facilitate creative coding.
Over the next few months, we're highlighting the beauty of generative art on Bitcoin. Discover new Ordinals mints from some of our favorite generative artists as we update our thread on X weekly with unique launches!

Partner Artist of the Week
Welcome to another Featured Artist of the Week, a series highlighting remarkable artists creating through the Gamma Partner Program! Today, meet Hafftka, a physical and digital artist whose works are featured in the collections of The Met, MOMA, Carnegie Institute, and more.
Hafftka has been creating art since the 70's and digital art since the early 90’s. He discusses the fact that no art dealers then had any interest in his digital creations, which he saw great potential in at the time. Hafftka loves the digital art space due to the fact the culture is defined by the artists and the community, rather than those who tell you what will sell and what to create.
In a recent conversation with Hafftka, we talked about the importance of supporting new artists, royalties, creating authentically, the evolution of an artist and more. You can listen to our entire conversation in the following interview:
Thanks for tuning in, we’ll see you next week!
