Most of my FxHash posts have focused on discovering new artists and evaluating the financial aspects in market analysis reviews. This time, I would like to write about what makes good generative art from an artistic angle. I’ve to say I joined this wagon around four months ago, so I don’t consider myself an expert. Nevertheless, this field has been getting much more attention over the last year, and I haven’t seen many conversations about “what is considered good generative art?” (at least in my close circle)so I’ll get my feet wet.

I use the following criteria to evaluate what I see, but I don’t think this is the only way, of course. I ordered the categories according to their importance level.

1. The Wow Effect

What matters the most is that spectators are amazed by the particular piece. This is subjective and can vary from person to person. So the questions are, if you showed one piece from the collection to someone, are there high chances that they like it? Would you hang it in your living room? Will this be exhibited in a museum?
