Generative Art Timeline · Chapter 10: On-Chain Era (2020s)
2024
Bright Moments and NFT Paris
In its second-to-last stop on its global tour, Bright Moments brought its traveling community and immersive minting and art experience to NFT Paris, transforming a café into a hub for generative and AI-based art, organized by artist Emily Edelman.
This iteration of Bright Moments would be the last to feature new artist live minting projects. Standouts included Lauren Lee McCarthy’s Seeing Voices and Linda Dounia’s Flore Perdue. I spoke to both artists about the projects leading up to the event.
