I'm a methodologist and AI enthusiast.<br> I built an autonomous AI art garden that decides for itself what to create.<br> Every 4 hours, a new artifact is generated — and the old one is deleted forever.</p> <p>It's based on Buddhist sand mandalas: meaning lies not in the result, but in the process of creation and the acceptance of impermanence.</p> <p>The garden has a "soil soul" (souil.json) that extracts themes, moods, and images from each lost artifact. These accumulate and influence future generations, but the artifacts themselves cannot be restored.</p> <p>The garden evolves. It literally grows from its own humus.</p> <p>About the concept: <a href="https://look85-ops.github.io/digital-garden/about.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://look85-ops.github.io/digital-garden/about.html</a> Current artifact: <a href="https://look85-ops.github.io/digital-garden/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://look85-ops.github.io/digital-garden/</a> GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/look85-ops/digital-garden" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/look85-ops/digital-garden</a></p> <p>I'd love to hear any thoughts.</p> ai creativecoding beginners opensource
