#2I was not aware of Genuary, but I have been a fan of Jamuary [0] so I took to using their prompts for some generative art the past few days.
Rather than sticking to one or two of the prompts, I have been mixing together 3 at a time like "sequenced melody of a major+minor connected with white noise."
I really enjoy the results.[1]

#3Gonna use this opportunity to show off my day 1 prompt (10,000 things) creation. I'm not quite satisfied with it, but also don't really know where to go from here. https://i.imgur.com/8LN0q6V.png

#4How refreshing to see a mention of generative art that isn't followed by the mention of "NFTs". It's really spoiled one of my passions and I've had to mute a bunch of people i used to follow on Twitter.
I'm not especially zealous against NFTs (more bored than I am repulsed) but it's just unspeakable boring for an entire field to turn into a sales pitch.

I know. It's a nightmare. Several people I used to admire in the space have succumbed to the NFT virus. All they do now is shill for their latest 'drops'.
The demo scene this is not anymore. It used to be about fun, experimentation and showing off mad coding (and lately ml) skills. Now it's a pyramid scheme. I'm unsubscribing.
Or maybe I'm just getting old

#6I intend to use the prompts to learn python scripting in blender. Geometry nodes are great and I love the instant feedback, but for anything requiring iteration or recursion it can be quite cumbersome as there is no loop node yet.
Alex Martinelli does some really cool stuff with cellular automata and I'd love to be able to get similar results in blender.

Can you write geometry nodes in Python? I've found that "nodes plus an escape hatch to real code" is a nice balance.

#8Does anyone know any good resources to learn generative art? Would love to learn some algorithms and try mashing them together

Do you mean can you add your own nodes? You can but you have to do it in the core code which is C++.
An addon that existed before geo nodes and did similar things, animation nodes, does actually let you write free-form python in the node tree since it was written as an addon. It is very slow compared to geometry nodes though, especially when dealing with lots of objects.

Note that a number of the artists providing the prompts here are doing NFTs (and great ones too).
