TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART ANNOUNCES UPCOMING GENERATEIVE ART EXHIBITION AND THE 2025 DIGITAL ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
INFINITE IMAGES, A BOUNDARY-PUSHING DIGITAL ART EXHIBITION WILL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON JULY 12
EMILY XIE AND DANIEL HERNANDEZ HAVE BEEN NAMED THE 2025 TMA LABS DIGITAL ARTISTS IN RESIDENCEE
The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) is pleased to announce Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms. A generative art exhibition curated by digital art expert Julia Kaganskiy, will be on view from July 12 – November 30, 2025. In addition, Emily Xie and Daniel Hernandez have been named the 2025 TMA Labs Digital Artists in Residence. The culmination of their work will be exhibited in the museum in September with more details to follow in the coming months.
Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms explores the history and evolution of generative art, emphasizing its foundational role before AI-generated imagery. Generative art, which relies on rule-based systems—whether written instructions or coded algorithms—has existed since at least the 1960s, with precedents in 13th-century Islamic tile work. The exhibition highlights pioneers like Vera Molnar, who developed algorithmic processes before using a computer, alongside artists from Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Bauhaus, and Concrete Art.
Featuring works by 24 artists, Infinite Images examines themes of Chance and Control, Digital Materiality, and Coded Nature, showcasing both digital and physical works, including large-scale installations by Sarah Meyohas, Operator, and Sam Spratt. Interactive experiences invite audiences to engage with the procedural nature of generative art. This survey exhibition will be one of the first of its kind at a historic American art museum. The exhibition will showcase work by Sofia Crespo, Tyler Hobbs, Vera Molnar, Casey Reas, Quayola, Snowfro, and 2025 TMA Labs Artist in Residence Emily Xie, among many others. Infinite Images demonstrates TMA’s status as an innovator, existing at the crossroads of digital art and traditional museological programming.
Building on the success of the 2023 and 2024 Digital Artist Residency Programs, TMA, under the banner of its digital arts-focused venture, TMA Labs, has invited Emily Xie and Daniel Hernandez to participate in the 2025 edition. Xie is a New York City-based visual artist who works with code and computation to create lifelike textures and forms. Her digital artworks explore the evolving relationships between diverse materials and mythology, memory, tradition, and heritage. Toledo-based Hernandez is similarly interested in conveying a visual dialogue surrounding mythology and contemporary forms through his work. His colorful works act as contemporary retellings of historic mythological and religious tales. Xie and Hernandez will work together for the entirety of the residency to create an array of new artworks that will eventually be put on public display in September 2025. Formal opening date to be shared soon.
