Generative Art Timeline · Chapter 10: On-Chain Era (2020s)
2023
AGH 1 in Berlin

In December, the real-time generative art trio AGH, consisting of Kim Asendorf, Andreas Gysin and Leander Herzog, debuted their collective show, AGH 1, in Berlin, organized and co-curated by Grailers with support from Fingerprints and Highlight. The group, known for their shared focus on digital aesthetics and real-time code-based art, used this platform to challenge traditional art narratives and glorify the intrinsic beauty of computational processes.
Their work celebrates the digital, emphasizing its inherent qualities such as motion, interactivity and adaptability. They aim to create a new, responsive art form that reflects the technological possibilities of the contemporary digital age.
