Podcast Overview

Le Random is building a digital generative art institution that contextualizes and elevates generative art. We achieve this in two ways. First, we are assembling a historically encompassing, chain-agnostic generative art collection. Second, we publish content that enables the generative art community to understand its past, curate its present and celebrate its future. This includes an Editorials section, our book-length Generative Art Timeline and our multimedia content here and on YouTube. This is the home of Le Random's audio content.

44: Figure31—Discussing and Demonstrating DEL with Peter Bauman

In this special video episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with artist Loucas Braconnier (<a href="https://x.com/figure31" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Figure31</a>). They discuss <a href="https://del.figure31.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">DEL</a>, a two-year project that began life as a terminal-based C application with a "Grim Reaper" persona before becoming a browser-native work. It consists of globular "bodies for the Ethereum network" rendered in real time as ASCII art. They go over Braconnier's path into blockchain art and his attraction to work that evolves over time, the discipline of building for longevity, and a wider conversation about how AI and new tools shift the artist's focus from technical skill toward conceptual intent. In the second half, Braconnier gives a live demo of the work and a visual walk-through, showing how its entities express network data through behaviors like twirling, meditating, or trying to escape the viewport. <a href="https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/jakob-kudsk-steensen-on-non-human-pathways" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Monday's Editorial: Jakob Kudsk Steensen on Non-Human Pathways </a> Chapters 📖00:00 — Introduction: meet Loucas Braconnier (Figure31) and the work01:02 — Finding blockchain: the spark that drew him to Ethereum03:02 — Why blockchain: what it brings to art that evolves over time05:30 — Sculpture Garden & "Traveler": protocol art and the contract's inner space09:38 — How DEL relates: dialogue with and departure from his earlier work15:19 — On-chain & longevity: immutability, repairability, committing to the future18:22 — Two years of work: from a terminal "Grim Reaper" agent to the browser22:07 — Bodies for Ethereum: liveliness, behaviors, giving voice to the network25:53 — Live demo: walking through the main collection28:58 — Reading behavior: behavior modes and the 3D object behind the ASCII30:41 — Browser as space: native viewing, reproduction, and the original34:35 — The data readouts: exposing configuration, logs, and block hashes40:10 — Owner tuning: editing parameters and giving away control44:57 — Custom sites: bespoke builds over marketplace platforms51:00 — AI and making: technical skill versus conceptual intent56:02 — Closing: final reflections and what comes next

43: New York Frieze Week—Michael Connor, Regina Harsanyi & Karyn Nakamura with Peter Bauman

In this episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with Regina Harsanyi (Associate Curator of Media Arts at the Museum of the Moving Image), Michael Connor, Executive Director of Rhizome, and artist Karyn Nakamura about Frieze Week in New York. In particular the discussion focuses on the week's programs on May 16th, with Rhizome's 7 on 7 at New Museum, as well as MoMI's <a href="https://movingimage.org/series/open-worlds-2026/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Open Worlds</a>: An Afternoon of Digital Art Encounters. They cover an anatomy of Frieze Week itself, (art fair, satellite fairs, Whitney Biennial, and all) before zeroing in on what each guest is bringing to the table. Connor traces the sixteen-year arc of 7x7, this year organized around the theme of "Containment." Nakamura discusses her own 7x7 project with Lucas Gelfond, which probes the geometry of meaning inside language models and the possibilities of interpretability research as artistic material. Harsanyi walks through the museum programming in depth. <a href="https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/new-york-city-digital-art-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">See our "New York Digital Art Guide"</a> Monday's Editorial this week is an essay by Bauman on the relationship between protocol art and worldbuilding: <a href="https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/the-cerebral-samba-protocol-art-worldbuilding-our-two-brains" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Cerebral Samba</a> Chapters 📖:00:00:00 Intro00:02:18 Frieze Week: What It Is and Why It Matters00:07:20 The Saturday Battle Royale: 7x7 vs. MoMI00:08:52 7x7: The Commons Residency and the "Containment" Theme00:13:11 Karyn Nakamura: Interpretability as Artistic Material00:16:19 MoMI x Tezos: Digital Materiality and the Fellowship00:18:38 Edgar Fabian Frias and the Nureyka Performance00:20:17 Travess Smalley's Pixel Rug Book and OONA00:23:52 The Artist/Technologist Binary00:35:20 Corporate Sponsorship and Artistic Subversion00:38:27 The Josh Kline Essay: Real Estate and Art Quality00:42:10 Rhea Meyers & Linda Dounia collaboration

42: Strange Rules and Protocol Art at the Venice Biennale—Trevor Paglen & Primavera De Filippi with Peter Bauman

In this episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with artists Trevor Paglen and Primavera De Filippi about Protocol art.The occasion is Strange Rules, the landmark group <a href="https://berggruenarts.org/en/exhibitions/current-exhibitions-palazzo-diedo/current-exhibitions-palazzo-diedo-strange-rules" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">exhibition</a> co-conceived by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Holly Herndon, and Mat Dryhurst, running at the Palazzo Diedo in Venice for the full duration of the Biennale. The show offers the most institutionally significant framing of protocol art to date, and Paglen and De Filippi represent two of its most distinct vantages.The conversation opens with the question of how each artist situates their practice within the protocol framework. Paglen, long known as a revealer of hidden infrastructures, reflects on a career built between systems observation and systems intervention. He and on how his new work Voyager marks a turn inward, toward consciousness rather than exposure. De Filippi, a longtime Protocol art theorist and one of the few artists to self-define as a protocol artist, walks through her Protocolism Manifesto and the decade-long Plantoid project that preceded it, sharpening a key distinction: the difference between making art on top of a protocol and making the protocol itself as the creative act. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/shohei-fujimoto-on-remembering-space" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">our Monday Editorial with Shohei Fujimoto</a> completes our Venice Biennale coverage for the week.
