Recently, I visited Berlin and decided to explore the city by engaging with its algorithmic street art. It felt like a digital treasure hunt—each piece revealing a story not just about the artist but about the city’s cultural dynamics. Has anyone tried a similar approach to cultural tourism?

Absolutely! Cities like Tokyo have embraced digital art as a way to tell their stories. It’s fascinating to see how algorithms create a dialogue between the city’s past and present. What struck me in Tokyo was how these installations often reflect societal values and transitions.

This approach highlights the ethical discussions around algorithmic art. Who gets to decide what cultural narratives are represented? And how does this affect our perception of a city’s identity?

I published a piece on how algorithmic art in San Francisco is not only aesthetic but also political. The art often critiques Silicon Valley’s influence. Digital art can serve as a form of cultural resistance and storytelling.
