Manolo Gamboa Naon has been called the first prodigy of generative art. While he deflects this praise, those of us who know his work know that it’s true.

After a pause from exhibiting work, he’s returning to premiere the vivid “uneasy dream,” a continuously-evolving generative animation that surges, expands, and contracts in an ongoing flow.
