Generative art, text art and more.

NEWS: I am curating the ORACLE MACHINES exhibtion at Computer Arts Society, London. This is about the relationahip between AI and ancient and modern oracles. Launch is Wednesday 21st October, find out more and get free ORACLE MACHINES tickets here.

Geoff Davis founded the Micro Arts Group in London in 1984, an independent platform publishing computer art of many types, including text story generation, to the public long before institutions and galleries took it seriously. He started the AI Creative Anthology in 2023 and is on the committee of Computer Arts Society.

He has been producing new art over the last few years which is summarised here. 

Geoff has been exhibited internationally since 1985, and his work is held in collections including the Computer Arts Archive, the Francisco Carolinum Museum in Linz, the Art-Science Franke Foundation in Berlin, The National Museum of Computing and Le Random.

New artworks

PATTERN CITY

Figurative processed animations made from human-drawn illustrations from a novel. Exhibited at Computer Arts Society (v1, 2023 and v2, 2025) and at the V&A Digital Design Weekend (2026). 

 TELL ME MORE

Generative art with a built in text generator and phrase system.  Was in the CAS show at V&A Digital Design Weekend (2026) and in Oracular Machines exhibition (2026).

Inspired by Studio (Random Walking) (in MA2 Various Unusual Events, Geoff Davis / Micro Arts, 1984). Shown below are the Tell Me More version for Oracle Machines (2026), and a version using an original story text generator (Micro Arts, 1985). The version with no texts is called Studio Walking (2025) and is not shown here. 

TIME SERIES – GENERATIVE ART

This is an unreleased long-form generative art piece from 2023. Shown below are images from set #3 Human and set #6 Cyberpunk (from seven sets totalling 7000 images).

MICRO ARTS 42nd ANNIVERSARY

Some of the older works have inspired new works, rather than simply recoding the original pieces.

Except Minimal (below, in Drivers exhibition, 2025) conceptual 2 year Pixel Art, in MA2 Various Unusual Events, 1984. This is the first time Minimal has actually run for 2 years, and recently passed the 50% mark.

When Animals Dream of Electric Sheep (below, Wolf Series, 2025) an image book from Story Generator (Micro Arts, 1985; CIFRA, 2025). The seed story in Story Generator was a lurid tale of animal revenge, Cow Boils Head (Davis, 1983). 

Artifical Vandalism (below) is an animation based on ‘scum guy’ (he’s always miserable), the character in  Money Work System (1984), a computer-drawn piece from Solana’s SCUM Manifesto; Tell Me More is based on the MA2 Various Unusual Events 1984 original Studio (Random Walking). Time Series is based on the Lines art from MA1 “Abstract Originals” (1984). (Quote marks are part of the title.)
