Casey @REAS helped make code legible as an artistic medium. In Infinite Images, software is not a tool behind the work. It is part of the work.

Co-curated by Vera Petukhova. Join us at Wilshire Online on Thursday, May 14, 6โ€“9 PM to celebrate the opening. RSVP at luma.com/kp96pt0n The exhibition traces an intergenerational lineage of artists working with software-based practices, foregrounding how code operates as both a time-based and spatial medium. The partnership pairs bitformsโ€™ long-standing engagement with the histories and infrastructures of digital and time-based work with Rip Spaceโ€™s process-driven approach to experimentation and ideas in motion. ๐‘ช๐’๐’๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’–๐’–๐’Ž coincides with bitforms galleryโ€™s 25th anniversary, reflecting a legacy of supporting artists who have defined generative and software-based practices. Pioneers like Daniel Canogar and Casey Reas, whose work helped establish code as an artistic medium, are presented alongside artists such as Sarah Rothberg, whose practice engages interactive systems and AI to explore the social and psychological dimensions of technology. Their influence extends to artists like Aurora Mititelu and Nat Decker, who treat software as both material and environment, developing installation-based and networked practices that expand how digital systems inhabit physical space. 05/14 โ€“ 06/20, 2026 at Wilshire Online || 6135 Willshire Blvd Opening reception: May 14, 6โ€“9PM Hours: Thurs 11-7 | Fri 2-9 PM | Sat 2โ€“9 PM Photo Credit : Sarah Rothberg, Sophie For You (software), 2023-2025, Custom software (color, sound)

Twenty-five years ago, we were all talking about โ€œsoftware artโ€ as a subset of โ€œdigital art.โ€ Over the past five years, we have focused on the even narrower โ€œgenerative art.โ€ What is software art? This bibliography is my perspective: sosoft.arts.ucla.edu/indexinโ€ฆ
