Tyler Hobbs’ debut monograph is one of the first to focus on the work of a generative artist. Contextualising his output over the past four years in particular, the book includes works from Hobbs’ solo exhibitions at Unit London and Pace New York in 2023. Structured around the concept of dualities, the monograph explores Hobbs’ systematic approaches to artmaking that still allow room for the unexpected, the creative relationship between man and machine, computerled aesthetics and the interplay of repetition and variation across longform generative projects. The monograph includes an interview between Hobbs and Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, and essays by Melanie Lenz, curator of digital art at the Victoria & Albert Museum, and Jason Bailey, cofounder and CEO of ClubNFT. The book will be released in a limited edition of 999 that mirrors the number of algorithmically generated works in Hobbs’ renowned Fidenza collection.
