Overview
Crowdsourcing brings people from different fields together to collaborate and generate diversed solutions for tough real-world problems. Generative art, as a synthetic product of autonomous systems and artists, has been widely utilized and invested in the NFT market. While today’s open source platforms for Generative Art, such as Open Processing, have made it more accessible for coders and artists to learn and collaborate, it is violating the intelligence property of the art pieces to some extend due to the fact that codes could be easily spread and copied. This raises a question about whether codes of Generative Art pieces should be kept as an open source or should be protected as a digital asset.

Usability Test
-
Needs instructions of swipe up gesture for first-time user
-
“The interface is beautiful. I didn't know at first that I could slide up and down because there were no hints. Once I discovered that I could swipe to operate, it was easy to know what to do with the rest of the interface.”
-
Need a larger view of Artworks at detail page
-
“Can I play with the artwork before I purchase it?”
-
The buttons at upper right corner is not easy to reach.
Needs intuitive gestures or change buttons’ locations.
-
“I hope that the artists I like can share the stories and inspirations behind their works.”
