SLOPJECTs and Post-algo Art
A SLOPJECT is a post-algo object: an object made within the conditions of algorithmic distribution.
It is shaped with an awareness of the feed, the thumbnail, the product image, the caption, the process video, and the recommendation system. These systems affect what is seen, how it is framed, and what is likely to circulate. A SLOPJECT treats those conditions as part of its form from the beginning.
It may use the visual language of products, found objects, sculpture, design objects, artworks, tools, toys, collectibles, and commodities. This does not mean that it represents or comments on those categories. It can borrow their forms, presentation, or associations without a fixed message.
A SLOPJECT is encountered as an image as well as a thing. Its photographs, videos, descriptions, and circulation are part of how the work exists publicly.
Post-algo describes the conditions in which the object is made, presented, and circulated. The intent of the individual object remains open.

Post-algo Art
Post-algo is an art period after the algorithm became a condition of creation and reception.
Algorithms sort, rank, recommend, repeat, suppress, and reward. It presents work according to signals of attention: engagement, retention, reaction, velocity, and familiarity. It determines not only what is seen, but the conditions under which something can become visible at all.
It shapes the work before the work is finished.
The infinite feed has become the primary public spaces in which art is encountered. The gallery remains. The museum remains. The studio remains. But the feed is where work is first seen, repeated, judged, circulated, and remembered.
There, an artwork meets the social algorithm: a system that determines what appears, what disappears, what is enlarged, what is reduced to a thumbnail, what becomes familiar, and what is rewarded with attention.
Artists now make with an awareness of the feed. They know the first image may matter more than the object. They know a process video may travel farther than the painting it documents. They know the studio, the making-of, the reveal, the reaction, and the repetition can become artworks in circulation alongside—or instead of—the thing itself.
They may accept and reject this notion, but it remains a constant pressure.
This is the new condition shaping creativity.
Post-algo work includes objects, images, paintings, sculpture, installations, performances, process videos, tutorials, studio fragments, screenshots, captions, comments, and acts of disappearance.
It may be made for the feed. It may be made against the feed. It may seduce the system, confuse it, exhaust it, evade it, or expose it.
Post-algo is not a style. It is the shared condition of making art when visibility has become infrastructural.
The algorithm does not simply distribute culture. It participates in its production.
