Art
Code used as an artistic material: live coding, glitch, ASCII, pixels, teletext. Collected over years, not assembled this afternoon.
Every row has a note, and the ones marked ▶ open and do their thing in the browser right now — no install, no account.
Nothing matches that.
Generative AI
15 linksGenerators and model hubs. The most replaceable section here — kept because the tools are useful, not because they're interesting.
- Hugging Facehuggingface.coThe open model repository. The only thing here that's infrastructure rather than product.
- Lexicalexica.artSearch engine of generated images with their prompts visible. Use it to learn how to ask, not to generate.
- AI Draw▶ runsai-draw.tokyoTurns a photo into a continuous line drawing. One trick, done well.
- Beatoven.aibeatoven.aiRoyalty-free generated music for video. Useful as filler, not as a work.

- Mubertmubert.comMusic generation from a description, aimed at commercial use without licensing.
- NightCafecreator.nightcafe.studioGenerator with a community and daily challenges. More social than technical.
- Phindphind.comSearch engine aimed at programming. It's here because of where you filed it, not because it's art.
