#52Great resource to explore new fine art photography projects and artists is LENSCRATCH https://lenscratch.com/photographers/ But have you explored all of the old ones yet? Magnum has excellent courses, each is a rabbit hole of references and inspiration: https://www.magnumphotos.com/learn/ (personally working through the Alec Soth one atm) Regarding photobooks, the best way by far is to visit your local brick and mort…
I own a lot of photo books and highly recommend them. Nothing is more inspiring to me. The YouTube channel "The Photo Book Guy" is worth a look too. I also like "The Art of Photography."
The Magnum courses look interesting. Do you find the are generally worth the price? Do they ever go on sale?

#55It’s generative art, made with Houdini from what I gather—so not technically coding—but davidope is making amazing things all the time and I personally find him a very inspiring visual artist. You can see his art on IG @dvdp or check his very Hackernewsy about page davidope.com for more info.

Demos should count. The demoscene is almost archetypical in this regard, IMO.

#58I love the early generative artists: - Frieder Nake - Vera Molnar - Manfred Mohr More recently people like Casey Reas, who developed the language Processing, Jared Tarbell ( https://complexification.net ), and Anders Hoff ( https://inconvergent.net ) are the people I'd look at. Hoff works in Lisp if that's your thing. For a place to look at the history of generative art, the best resource is still http://dada.compart…
Do you know about Peter Struycken, who made many art works, painting, carpets, light shows, and 3D animations with the help of computers? Even his painting of the last decade where made using computer programs to find pleasant looking random patterns for placing coloured squares. See www.pstruycken.nl for more information.

#59Daidō Moriyama is a great Japanese photographer who exemplified the Provoke movement in the 1970s. I find his work inspiring and liberating.
He pioneered a style that combined gritty black and white street photography with an avant garde approach.

#60For very niche-y photography: Allison Pollack

Ironically, iNaturalist is the better source than instagram for browsing her pictures (at least if you don't want to open an account).
