I made ~$1000 in earnings in a weekend selling algorithmically generated posters of my art:
https://spacefiller.space/prints https://spacefiller.space/prints
This was a test run that went surprisingly well. I paused sales so that I can focus on reworking my process (it was very manual, hoping to make it completely automated) and design more posters.
- yumaikas 5y agoThese are a amazing pieces of computational art! Might I ask what you built it with?
- astroalex 5y agoThank you! They're made with Java-based Processing (https://processing.org/ https://processing.org/), although I have a new JavaScript/WebGL version in the works.
- nati0n 5y agoCurious what the rough process is to generate art algorithmically... I've heard of ML that attempts to generate art based on its training pool. What concepts does this sort of art use?
- astroalex 5y agoThanks for your question! I began writing a technical explanation of the art here: https://notes.spacefiller.space/living-wall/ https://notes.spacefiller.space/living-wall/ It's a very early draft, but hopefully provides a glimpse into the techniques I use. (tl;dr: it's way more low-tech than ML generated art.)
- idiotsecant 5y agoIf you want to restart with someone to do the grunt work let me know :P
- astroalex 5y agoIf you're serious, send me an email at alexmiller@spacefiller.space! I would honestly love to hire someone to do a bit of grunt work.
- gremlinsinc 5y agoyou should do courses, maybe for free w/ a sub-license agreement or franchising thing or create some marketplace to handle sales/marketing for people who maybe create their own auto-algorithmic designs, and then you're making $, and people who might be struggling --esp. artistic types might make some $.... win/win. Maybe something where someone uploads some sort of 'manifest' or 'starter material', that determines how the artwork comes out, the system then handles creating, selling, delivering the artwork and takes like 20% cut... I'd love to help on something like that if you'd want, I'm a laravel/php dev mostly but familiar w/ rust, go, python, javascript.
- uptown 5y agoCurious who you use for printing. I've got an idea I'm working on with poster-sized output that I'd like to tie into a printing/shipping API if possible.
