Infinite Images: A Digital Daydream at the Toledo Museum of Art

I had the absolute best time at the Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art. From the moment I walked in, it felt like I was stepping into a portal where creativity and code were holding hands—and dancing.

This exhibit explores how artists use algorithms, systems, and generative processes to create some seriously stunning work. And let me tell you, these pieces weren’t just beautiful—they made you think. Everything pulsed with movement, math, and meaning. You could actually feel the rhythm of logic at play, but in a way that still felt so human.

My favorite piece was Masquerade by Sam Spratt. The imagery, the storytelling, the sheer detail—it completely stopped me in my tracks. There was this haunting, layered symbolism to it that made you want to look closer. It felt ancient and futuristic all at once. Spratt’s work speaks to identity, performance, and transformation in such a powerful way. I kept circling back to it throughout my visit, picking up on something new every time. It was so captivating.

There was also this interactive space where your presence influenced the art. It made you feel part of the process, like you weren’t just there to look—you were there to co-create. It was this reminder that even in the most technical of spaces, there’s room for connection and play.

What struck me the most was how emotional it all felt. I didn’t expect to leave an algorithm exhibit feeling inspired and lowkey moved, but here we are. The artists showed that beauty can come from structure. That randomness can be intentional. And that art and technology aren’t in opposition—they’re in conversation.

If you’re in the Toledo area, please go see this exhibit while it’s still up. It's thoughtful, immersive, and unlike anything I’ve experienced in a gallery before. It reminded me that creativity truly has no limits—even in a world built on code.
