这只是最近生成艺术蓬勃发展的两个例子，生成艺术是计算机通过算法生成的一种艺术形式。
These are just two examples of the recent growth of a vibrant arts, which is a form of art generated by computers through algorithms.
在生成性艺术中，艺术家不直接创作作品。取而代之的是，他们定制了一个计算机算法来为他们完成这项工作，“尽管这在历史上在艺术界是一个相对较小的领域，但由于以太坊和NFT，它现在已经成为关注的焦点。
Instead, artists do not directly create works. Instead, they customize a computer algorithm to do this work for them, “Although this is historically a relatively small area in the art world, since NFT, which is now the focus of attention.
人们都为之疯狂（从销售数据中我们可以看出）。
People are crazy about it (as we can see from sales data).
引领这一热潮的项目之一是Art Blocks。这是一个平台，艺术家和收藏家可以在这里创作和购买独特的艺术创作作品。
One of the projects leading to this trend is Art Blocks, which is a platform where artists and collectors can create and buy unique works of art.
这个行业的崛起令人难以置信。几乎所有这些都发生在不到一年的时间里。
The rise of this industry is incredible. Almost all of this happened in less than a year.

如何应对以太坊的生成性艺术热潮
How to respond to .
以太坊的NFT生态系统已于2021年开花并结出硕果，今年到目前为止，该领域最大的增长领域之一是其生殖艺术领域。
The NFT ecosystem of the Etherms began to bloom and bear fruit in 2021, and one of the largest areas of growth in this area so far this year has been in the area of reproductive arts.

以太坊的生成性艺术繁荣
Ether's creative art flourishes.
如果2020年是DeFi的第一个爆发年，那么2021年已被证明是NFT的第一个爆发年。
If 2020 was the first year of outbreak DeFi, then 2021 has proved to be the first year of outbreak for NFT.
在这股热潮中，事实证明有几个类别相当受欢迎，如收藏品、游戏、虚拟世界和加密艺术。谈到最后一个领域，加密艺术，近几个月来有一个市场一直处于领先地位：生成艺术。
In this hot wave, several categories have proved to be quite popular, such as collections, games, virtual worlds, and encryption. Turning to the last area, encryption, there has been a market leading in recent months: the production of art.
生成艺术的起源可以追溯到20世纪60年代，它已经跨过了艺术和技术的门槛。因此，在过去，一些艺术家批评生成性艺术的创作不是“真正的艺术”，一些技术专家说这个领域“无聊”。
The origin of the creation of the arts dates back to the 1960s, and it has crossed the threshold of art and technology. Thus, in the past, some artists have criticized the creation of the creative arts as not being “real art”, and some technocrats have said that the field is “irresistible”.
恕我直言，我认为这完全是胡说八道。只要创造性以有趣的方式展开，这就是艺术。生殖艺术家长期以来一直以创新和高尚的方式发挥创造力。在我看来，他们很容易成为近几十年来世界上最有趣的创造者之一。
With all due respect, I think this is total nonsense. As long as creativity is carried out in an interesting way, it is art. Reproductive artists have long been creative in innovative and noble ways. In my view, they can easily become one of the most interesting creators in the world in recent decades.
总而言之，有创造力的艺术家不必认真对待这些反对者。
In short, creative artists need not take these opponents seriously.
为什么？
Why?
生成艺术目前正在经历以太坊和NFT提供的“黄金时代”，这为艺术家提供了前所未有的创作可能性和前所未有的可编程发行机会。
Generating art is now experiencing the “Golden Age” offered by Taicha and NFT, which provides artists with unprecedented creative possibilities and unprecedented programming opportunities.

什么是生成艺术？
What's generating art?
生成艺术是算法艺术。这是一种计算机生成的艺术形式。其作品通过艺术家定制的算法产生独特的输出。
Generating art is the art of algorithms. This is a form of computer-generated art. Its work produces a unique output through the algorithms that artists customize.
在以太坊和NFT的背景下，生成艺术通常涉及艺术家将定制的艺术算法上传到智能合约。当收集者调用上述契约上的铸币功能时，底层算法将以独特的方式触发，从而以NFT的形式产生独特的艺术输出。
In the context of Taiwan and NFT, the creation of art usually involves an artist uploading custom art algorithms to smart contracts. When collectors call on the mooring function of the above-mentioned contract, the bottom algorithm will be triggered in a unique way, generating a unique artistic output in the form of NFT.
因此，自动化和非中介是以太坊生成性艺术场景的突出元素。正如德米特里·切尔尼亚克（Dmitri cherniak）今年早些时候告诉metaversal的那样，他是一位成就卓著的创作艺术家和ringers的创始人。
As a result, automation and non-intermediary are the salient elements of the art scenes generated in the Tails. As Dmitri Cherniak told Metaversal earlier this year, he was the founder of an accomplished creative artist and ringers.
“我喜欢说‘自动化’是我的艺术媒介。这个项目使我能够自始至终实现我的艺术愿景；从通过智能合约销售到使用独特的交易算力生成艺术品，JavaScript存储在浏览器中运行的链条上，再到使用发送到钱包的代币交付商品。我的“艺术”是确保某人可以在没有任何人际互动的情况下获得有趣和独特的作品。
"I like to say that "Automated" is my art medium. This project enables me to realize my artistic vision from the beginning to the end; from selling through smart contracts to generating art using unique transactional arithmetic, JavaScript stores it on chains running in browsers, to delivering goods using tokens sent to wallets. My art is to ensure that someone can get interesting and unique works without any human interaction.
如果您刚刚开始了解生成艺术，并渴望深入了解，那么有两篇文章是由艺术史学家、加密艺术先驱杰森·贝利（Jason Bailey，也称为artnome）撰写的。我个人认为，只要有机会，你就必须阅读它们。这两条是：
If you have just begun to understand the production of art and are eager to learn more about it, then two articles are written by the art historian Jason Bailey, also known as artnome. I personally think that you have to read them whenever you have the opportunity. These are:
1. “Why Love Generative Art?” – 2018年8月
“Why Love General Art?” - August 2018
2. “Autoglyphs, Generative Art Born On The Blockchain” – 2019年4月

生成式加密艺术的简史
A brief history of generated encryption art
生成加密技术的全面历史超出了本文的范围，但到目前为止，您希望记住的一些主要事件如下：
The full history of the creation of encryption technology is beyond the scope of this paper, but so far some of the main events you would like to remember are as follows:
- CryptoPunks（2017年6月）。CryptoPunks的图像是由Larva Labs在链外程序化生成的，从那时起就被赋予了某种生成的神秘感。
- MoonCats（2017年8月）。第一个链上生成的NFT收藏品项目，所有的生成和数据都完全由以太坊推动。
- CryptoArte（2018年8月）。一个生成性艺术项目，基于以太坊区块创建艺术作品。
- Autoglyphs（2019年4月）。Larva Lab的首个链上加密艺术项目。
- BitsForAI（2020年1月）。自我描述为 “为未来的人工智能艺术收藏家生成16位的NFT”。
- Chainfaces（2020年1月）。由Nate Alex创建的链上生成ASCII文字脸。
- Avastars（2020年4月）。链上头像收藏品，其12个 “基因 “是由生成性矢量艺术组成的。
- Proof of Beauty（2020年9月）。与上述CryptoArte项目类似，Proof of Beauty让收藏者将以太坊交易代币化为独特的生成艺术作品。
- Squiggly（2020年10月）：由Nate Alex创作的100件作品，由 “随机生成并完全在链上的斜线 “组成。
- Art Blocks（2020年11月）：以太坊的第一个定制链上生成的艺术Dapp，为艺术家和收藏家量身定做。
- ETHBlockArt（2021年1月）：与CryptoArte和Proof of Beauty类似，ETHBlock.art让用户基于以太坊区块创造独特的艺术品。

Art Blocks的蓬勃发展
我现在之所以写这篇特别文章，主要是因为2021年艺术街区的迅速崛起。如果说加密朋克在2017年是NFT活动，那么艺术街区在2021年也有类似的氛围。这就是我们在这里看到的范围！
I am now writing this special article because of the rapid rise of the art neighborhoods in 2021. If encryption punks were NFT activities in 2017, the art neighborhoods had a similar atmosphere in 2021. This is what we see here.
为什么会有如此迅速的上升？我个人认为这是一场“完美风暴”。
Why does it rise so fast? I personally think it's a perfect storm.
艺术街区由NFT中一些最有才华的人领导，如斯诺弗罗和杰夫·戴维斯。这个平台带来了我们这个时代最具代表性的创作艺术家，包括德米特里·切尔尼亚克和泰勒·霍布斯。一个充满激情的社区围绕着这个项目蓬勃发展。
The art neighborhood is led by some of the most talented people in NFT, such as Snowfro and Jeff Davis. This platform brings the most representative creative artists of our time, including Dmitry Cherniak and Taylor Hobbs. A passionate community thrives around this project.
这三者的结合导致了我们最近看到的所有神奇的事情。
The combination of these three leads to all the amazing things that we have seen recently.
更具体地说，艺术街区目前有三个不同的分支：
More specifically, there are currently three different branches in the art block:
- 艺术积木策划。这些是艺术积木团队精心挑选的生成性艺术系列，因此从这个意义上说，许多人认为这些作品是艺术积木世界的精华。
- 艺术街区游乐场。任何完成艺术街区规划工作的艺术家都可以进入游乐场，游乐场是一个沙箱系统，允许这些艺术家在不经过“规划”过程的情况下发布他们的作品。
- 艺术积木厂。现在出现了瓶颈效应。很多艺术家都在申请削减，所以艺术积木团队不能很快满足每个人的需求。为了解决这个问题，我们启动了“工厂”，因为它为艺术家提供了更多的自由来出版“非官方”艺术作品。
如何在艺术块上创建标记
How to create tags on an art block
要在艺术块上创建艺术，您只需要一些ETH和类似metamask的浏览器钱包。
To create art on an art block, only some
但这只是一个简单的陈述。更好的答案是，策划、操场和工厂的交付有自己的时间表，因此您必须跟踪社区沟通，以了解发生的一切。
But this is a simple statement. The better answer is that planning, playgrounds and factory delivery have their own schedules, so you have to follow community communication to understand what's going on.
此外，还有一个问题，就是在艺术积木的推出过程中，很多人都在尝试制作硬币，因此ETH的气体被急剧升高到天文数字。我不认为有人喜欢这些“战争”，但另一方面，它们表明艺术积木已经找到了一个非常适合市场的产品
In addition, there is the problem that during the roll-out of the artistic build-up, many people are trying to make coins, so gas was dramatically raised to astronomical numbers. I don't think anyone likes these "wars," but on the other hand, they show that the artistic builders have found a product that is very market-friendly.
好消息是，艺术街区最近一直在尝试新的交付方式（如荷兰拍卖，在荷兰拍卖中，造币厂的价格随着时间的推移稳步下降），以帮助防止重大天然气事件。到目前为止，实验取得了良好的效果。
The good news is that art neighbourhoods have been experimenting with new modes of delivery (e.g. Dutch auctions, where prices in currency-making plants have steadily declined over time) to help prevent major natural gas events. So far, the experiment has worked well.
最后，如果你决定在艺术品上造币，请确保：1）你及时准备好（标记你的日历！），2）你有一些一次性的ETH需要制造。
Finally, if you decide to make a coin on a work of art, make sure: 1) you're ready in time (mark your calendar!), 2) you have some one-time ETH to make.
最后，不要用你负担不起的ETH投资NFT；这是给你带来麻烦的单程票。此外，如果你错过了艺术街区的秋季，但仍然想加入，你可以随时在NFT二级市场冲浪，如OpenSea。
And finally, don't invest in NFT with ETH that you can't afford; it's a one-way ticket to get you into trouble. And if you miss the fall in the art block, but still want to join, you can surf at the NFT secondary market at any time, like OpenSea.
展望未来
类似DAPP的艺术积木正在以太坊迎来一个生成艺术的“黄金时代”。但即使是艺术积木也不仅仅是一个产生艺术的平台。例如，关于视频游戏，art blocks创始人snowfro最近评论道：
For example, with regard to video games, the founder of art blocks, Snowfro, recently commented:
“我们正在与几家视频游戏公司谈判[…]我正在推广这个概念[…]我玩游戏的许可证可以是从艺术积木上购买一颗行星。然后我去游戏网站，通过连接metamask，我有权玩游戏，因为我有这个星球。下一步，我要去殖民那个星球。有人会看到我在公海的星球上殖民。
"We're negotiating with a few video game companies [...] I'm promoting this concept [...] My license to play is to buy a planet from an artistic log. Then I go to the game website, and by connecting metamask, I have the right to play, because I have this planet. Next, I'm going to colonize the planet. Some people will see me colonizing on the high seas.
他们将竞购我的星球，因为他们没有时间去殖民这个我在过去几个月里花了30个小时殖民的星球。我得说，伙计，这是一个很好的提议。这比我付的钱多得多，而且我真的很喜欢玩游戏。所以我得到报酬去做一些有趣的事情并卖掉这个星球”
They're going to race for my planet because they don't have time to colonize the planet I've spent 30 hours colonizing over the last few months. I gotta say, man, it's a good offer. It's a lot more than I pay, and I really like to play games. So I get paid to do something interesting and sell the planet."
同时，你必须有耐心，记住艺术积木甚至还没有过它的第一个生日。现在还早；
At the same time, you have to be patient and remember that the artistic log has not even had its first birthday. It's still early.
这个项目的成就以及近几个月以太坊产生的更广泛的艺术场景令人难以置信。我们刚刚开始接触到可能的表面。对我来说，艺术的未来从来没有像现在这样令人兴奋，我不是唯一一个有这种感觉的人。
The achievements of this project and the broader art scene that has emerged in the Tai Tai-cham in recent months are incredible. We've just begun to touch the possible surface. For me, the future of art has never been as exciting as it is now, and I am not the only one who feels that way.
