A term coined by artist Tyler Hobbs to describe a new style of generative art associated withthe blockchain. In long-form generative art, the artist typically encodes their algorithm directly onto the blockchain and the work is generated at the time of minting (the moment when it is collected). This means that neither the artist nor the collector knows what the work will look like in advance. To achieve this, the artist must fine-tune an algorithm capable of producing hundreds or thousands of iterations that are visually distinct from one another yet maintain a collective coherence and quality.
