# Gene Kogan Gene Kogan (b. 1985) is an artist working at the intersection of AI and generative systems, building autonomous tools, agents, and long-duration artworks. Originally trained as a machine learning engineer, he was among the earliest artists to work with AI and helped establish it as a medium for artistic practice. He educated a generation of practitioners through the **Machine Learning for Artists (ml4a)** workshop series, giving over 200 workshops around the world, and formerly taught at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). His work has been exhibited at Ars Electronica, the Seoul Mediacity Biennale at the Seoul Museum of Art, Fotomuseum Winterthur, the Ming Contemporary Art Museum (Shanghai), the Toronto International Film Festival, Futurium (Berlin), the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Eyebeam, Lighthaven, and Art Center Nabi (Seoul), and he has presented at NeurIPS (2019 and 2025). He is the creator of **Abraham**, a long-duration autonomous AI artist working under an on-chain covenant that binds it to produce one original work every day from 2025 to 2038, and a co-founder of **Eden** (eden.art), a platform for autonomous generative artists. He was also an advisor to Runway (RunwayML). - Website: https://genekogan.com | CV: https://genekogan.com/cv/ (machine-readable: https://genekogan.com/cv.md) - ml4a: https://ml4a.net | Abraham: https://abraham.ai | Eden: https://eden.art | Mars College: https://mars.college - GitHub: https://github.com/genekogan | Instagram: https://instagram.com/genekogan | X: https://twitter.com/genekogan ## Selected works - [Agentic code art - Agents coding generative art, plays, and music videos](/misc/_iconic/index.html) - [Vibe live coding - Live-coding music and visuals real-time with an AI assistant](https://x.com/genekogan/status/2041566685468226013) - [GPT Image feedback loop - Recursive image generation experiment](https://x.com/genekogan/status/1916167820276371666) - [A Book from the Sky - DCGAN trained on Chinese handwriting](https://genekogan.com/works/a-book-from-the-sky/) - [Why is a Raven Like a Writing Desk - A reanimation of Alice in Wonderland with neural style transfer](https://genekogan.com/works/why-is-a-raven-like-a-writing-desk/) ([link](https://vimeo.com/139123754)) - [Style synthesis loops - A technique for producing 3-second long infinite loops imitating a style](https://genekogan.com/works/infinite-hokusai/) ([link](https://twitter.com/genekogan/status/1008338409025409024)) - [Brain Loops - Infinitely looping text-to-image artworks, first NFT collection on Braindrops](https://braindrops.cloud/projects/1) - [Escher loop - CLIP + VQGAN infinite loop inspired by M.C.
