Role: Creator / co-developer Org: Open Science Laboratory (OpenSciLab) Domain: Art — generative image making in Python Adoption: Gained significant traction in Web3 and NFT communities, with multiple community YouTube tutorials within the first three months.
Summary
Samila is a Python prototyping tool for artists: it makes an image by scattering many thousands of points, each one placed by a formula with random parameters. No point is drawn by hand — the picture is whatever that many placements add up to.
Because the generation process is random, an image cannot be reproduced unless its seed was kept.
