Return to The Desert
Surveilled is an abandoned, burned out and boarded up cook house I passed driving through Morongo in the Yucca Valley on a hot summer solo road trip July 2013. As the miles stretched out behind me a knot in my stomach began to churn. I knew I had to turn back and photograph it.
The strangest sensation hits me in the presence of such objects. An overwhelming vibration akin to fear of death, but also an awe in its destroyed beauty. There is an exhilaration inside me to overcome my fear of the unknown and to enter where I know I do not belong. The feeling is always that I am the one under surveillance.

The Definitive Guide to Modern Generative Art by @ragnar_meta
This gallery is all about generative art and serves as a showcase for my personal collection. For people new to the genre, there's background information, thoughts on how to understand generative art, and plenty of 'grails' to enjoy. For experienced collectors, there are a few relatable stories and (hopefully!) several series you've never seen before and will want to collect.
Surveilled is my first 1/1 mint on Tezos.

I spotted this Burnt Yucca tree from the highway and circled around to see if I could find a road off the exit with access close enough to walk to it without losing sight of my vehicle and hidden enough so the car wouldnβt be seen in the photo. This is how I find most of my subjects when I adventure out into the world to make new work.
I got lucky during this trip with so many amazing views and perfect mid-summer storm weather to cut the heat and give the skies what I needed to create dynamic images. The only thing missing in this scene for me was the vehicle that burned in this spot, but Iβm glad they left the tire.

Inspired by 90s ROM cartridges, server farms and future cityscapes this project explores perception and documentation of βorderβ within complex systems.
The above triptych is a favorite pairing of the collection. Soon after mint Nbswwit shared #144 and #46 as a diptych. While creating this gallery I took the liberty of adding #81 to the mix. ( From left to right #144 - DocSciFi - #46 - Jwphase - #81 -Rn9ce )

Mostly, though, there's art. Lots of art.
So what is generative art? Generative art is, simply, art created by the partnership of an artist and a system. The artist sets up the system (in our case, programs a computer) - then releases the system to create the art autonomously.
It's a man/machine symbiosis.
Generative art has been around since the 1960s - but in this gallery I am going to focus on digital generative art stored on a blockchain, where the artist is a programmer, the system is a computer, and the art is stored as a digital token commonly called an NFT.
In this generative art the artist must program the computer to create something meaningful, beautiful, with an eye towards color, layout, form, light, etc ... but at the same time in the end give up control to the computer, allowing a set of variables and randomness to create the art, and hopefully the unexpected.
The beauty comes not only from the talent and knowledge of the artist but also in the system the artist programs to create the art. Generative art is about both the final content and an exploration of what the system can do.
