Community-run generative art platform and NFT marketplace for code-based generative art. A spiritual successor to fxhash and Art Blocks, with a physical-digital bridge through the Geneva gallery.
About GeneratedArt
Where AI Creative Coders build the models that make the art — owned by the people who train them.
A platform we'd want to publish on ourselves.
GeneratedArt is a marketplace and home for AI Art Creative Coding — the modern practice where an artist's creative act is training the model that makes the art, in the same lineage as dataset-trained generative systems like Refik Anadol's work, without claiming any affiliation. Hand-coded p5.js, three.js, WebGL, and GLSL sketches remain a fully respected second path. Either way, code is the medium: a model's architecture, training config, and inference pipeline are code, exactly as a sketch is. The artist owns the contract. The platform is shared infrastructure, not a landlord.
We started this because the existing options each gave up something we weren't willing to give up. Centralised marketplaces hold the keys, dictate royalties, and de-platform without warning. Prompt-only AI art tools rent you an aesthetic with no reproducibility and no way to say what a model was actually trained on. Pure on-chain venues are beautiful but inaccessible to most artists. The middle ground — open, curatable, transparent, provenance disclosed by construction, with a real physical-world endpoint — was empty.
What we believe
The code is the artwork.
A sketch is its source; a trained model is its base model, training method, and dataset. Mints reference an immutable commit or a locked CID, not a JPEG. If the platform disappears, the work still runs — pull the repo or the weights, render in any browser.
The artist owns the contract.
Every collection deploys to the artist's address on Base. We never custody keys, never take a cut at the contract level, never pause transfers. The platform is a discovery and curation surface, not a gatekeeper.
Provenance is disclosed, not claimed.
Every AI art model publishes its base model, training method, and a dataset note in the creator's own words — publicly, alongside the model — the same trust mechanic frozen-CID provenance already gives a code sketch.
Curation is human.
Anyone can publish a repo. Featured work is curated by a rotating council of artists who put their names on the choice. No engagement algorithm. No trending tab.
There is a room.
GeneratedArt has a physical gallery in Geneva. Selected work is printed, projected, or displayed on dedicated hardware. The internet part and the room part feed each other.
Where it runs
Static front-end on GitHub Pages. Hono on Cloudflare Workers for the API. D1 + KV + R2 + Queues at the edge. Claude for code generation, fal.ai for custom-trained models. ERC-721 contracts on Base. Wallets via WalletConnect. Pinning via IPFS. No central database, no auth provider, no platform that can pull the rug.
