- Book Synopsis
- Tyler Hobbs' debut monograph is one of the first to focus on the work of a generative artist. Order/Disorder contextualises Hobbs' groundbreaking art from 2018-2023 and includes works from his 2023 solo exhibitions at Unit, London, and Pace, New York. Tyler Hobbs' debut monograph is one of the first to focus on the work of a generative artist. Contextualising his art from 2018-2023, Order/Disorder includes works from Hobbs' solo exhibitions at Unit, London, and Pace, New York, in 2023. Structured around the concept of dualities, the book explores Hobbs' systematic approaches to artmaking, the creative relationship between man and machine, computer-led aesthetics and the interplay of repetition and emergence across longform generative projects. Order/Disorder features an interview between Hobbs and Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, and an essay by Melanie Lenz, curator of digital art at the Victoria & Albert Museum, alongside texts by the artist that introduce each thematically arranged section of plates.
- About The Author
- Tyler Hobbs (b. 1987) is a visual artist from Austin, Texas. His work focuses on computational aesthetics, how they are shaped by the biases of modern computer hardware and software, and how they relate to and interact with the natural world around us. Hobbs' project Fidenza, a series of 999 algorithmically generated works, is one of the most sought-after fine art NFT collections of all time. His solo exhibitions include Mechanical Hand (2023) at Unit, London, UK; QQL: Analogs (2023) at Pace, New York; Incomplete Control (2021) at Bright Moments, New York; and Progress (2018) at Galerìa Dos Topos, León, Mexico.

Lenz has published papers on early Argentine computer art (2018); women, art and technology (2014); and collecting and conserving born digital art (2011). She is a guest lecturer at the Royal College of Art, London, and has broadcast widely on creative arts and advanced technologies.
