SEDA

Software for Evolving Digital Art.

SEDA explores tools and practices for preserving network-interactive and evolving digital art, with an initial focus on Tezos-based crypto-art and the long-term care of works whose behavior depends on code, APIs, storage, and network context.

SEDA brings together research, software, and infrastructure work for the preservation of evolving digital art.
