I've just published "Windfoil: Closed-Form Coverage for Real-Time and Differentiable Vector Graphics" —
📎 Paper:
🔧 Code:
It is substantially faster than current differentiable renderers, and runs in WebGPU (browser + server).

- Matt DesLauriersRT @VetroEditions: Degrees of Disruption opened today at the V&A. Two editions of Meridian by @mattdesl (#870 and #686) are now in the museum's permanent collection, and one is on display. The series is documented in the Meridian book, published by Vetro:020293
- Meridian #870 is currently on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London as part of their new show, Degrees of Disruption: Vera Molnar and Generative Art. 🤗🎉

I was incredibly fortunate to meet and interview her some time prior. Feels very special to have my work exhibited and shown alongside hers. 📷 Ben Spilling
0021651 - pretty wild display of code + vector graphic capabilities coming out of this recent Google model.Surya @kickingkeysGemini 4 Argon is the first model where It felt like an image, video and language model all at once. Everything in this thread is made with code. @GoogleAIStudio More examples + the full code for all 534 paintings below ⬇️92528.5K

Paper Mono! sooo excited to finally release our free and beautiful mono font it works incredibly well for design, coding, and even prose, and it’s packed with features: variable font weight, coding ligatures, duospacing (!) for long-form text, and more. sound on:1541932.8K295K- despite the agentic/AI era coming for our code, it feels like there's still room for a tool like 'canvas-sketch' for creative development. I've been making and testing a new tool in the last months, some notes: - git SHA on export is still extremely useful; every output is tagged and correctly archived - a single consistent template/format for every sketch, regardless of output medium and design considerations, keeps things very clean - important that it works in both web (UI + realtime etc) and CLI (batch & server rendering) - ability to run locally (eg: immediate access to GBs of models, data, images) feels crucial for R&D and creative experimentation curious to hear what others think15151539.3K
- massive undertaking by @lerandomart mapping out lots of the history & space of generative art! 👏Le Random @lerandomartFind yourself ↓ We made 2,099 art + tech person profiles 🔎 + ⌘K27525K
- Super fun, @WarnerTeddy used some of my evolutionary drawing system (Synthetic Gestures, ACM C&C ‘26) to make a bundle in Avian Visitors! 🐦 My publication with more info:

- prepping a few slides on Windfoil and stumbled on one of my old WebGL text rendering demos from 2015 – blast from the past! funny to be revisiting GPU text rendering again all these years later.

The amazing @mattdesl and @williamapan have world immensely over the last years to create something truly special ❤️❤️Avant Arte @avant_arteWhat can a museum collection reveal about where generative art is going next? For Digital Art Season at the @V_and_A, @mattdesl and @williamapan were invited to explore the collection and develop new works in response to what they found. Their journeys through the collection led somewhere unexpected. Get updates:0120295
