For decades, art created with algorithms and code has been marginalized, recognized only by academia and the digital art community, but overlooked by the traditional art world.
With the rise of blockchain-based collectibles, this situation has changed. Blockchain collectibles provide artists working in this style known as 'generative art' a reliable way to prove authenticity, establish provenance, and sell their work directly to collectors.
Today, well-known institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Pompidou Center in Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York are exhibiting works by generative artists, and this expansion coincides with the rise of platforms like Art Blocks.
