Tyler Hobbs' debut monograph is one of the first to focus on the work of a generative artist. Contextualising his art from 2018-2023, Order / Disorder includes works from Hobbs' solo exhibitions at Unit London and Pace New York in 2023.
Structured around the concept of dualities, the book explores Hobbs' systematic approaches to art-making, the creative relationship between man and machine, computer-led aesthetics and the interplay of repetition and emergence across long-form generative projects. Order / Disorder features an interview between Hobbs and Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, and an essay by Melanie Lenz, curator of digital art at the Victoria & Albert Museum, alongside texts by the artist that introduce each thematically arranged section of plates.
Order / Disorder is released in a limited edition of 999 that mirrors the number of algorithmically generated works in Hobbs' renowned Fidenza collection.
