Infinite Images at Toledo Museum of Art

July saw undoubtedly one of the year’s most significant events for digital art. Curated by Julia Kaganskiy, Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms spanned 24 artists from 1961 to the present, framing generativity as a negotiation between chance and control, emergence and intention, authorship and automation. Infinite Images took inspiration, as did Le Random itself, from Vera Molnár’s line: “There is one thing that can replace intuition; it’s randomness.” Four sections move from the “Imaginary Machine” to on-chain long-form, digital materiality and coded nature. The exhibition also served as a sense of validation for a new generation of museum, artist and community. It’s an example of how growth can occur beyond a token or floor price. Sturdier, more sustained growth comes from partnered outreach and showcasing an art form in dialogue with emerging technologies and their impact.
