Introduction
The 512-work project seeds Cartesian genetic networks from chosen block hashes to generate SVGs. Later blocks trigger deterministic mutations, and window dimensions affect rendering. A standalone application allows recalculation.

Process and material
The 512-work project seeds Cartesian genetic networks from chosen block hashes to generate SVGs. Later blocks trigger deterministic mutations, and window dimensions affect rendering. A standalone application allows recalculation.

Viewing the work and its documentation
Compare birth states, later mutations and different window proportions in Mutant Garden Seeder. Block information and browser dimensions affect presentation; an installation photograph records one display setting rather than the work’s entire changing history.

Art-historical significance and comparison
Editorial interpretation: Immutable records coexist with changing works, complicating a fixed-seed/fixed-image account and enabling a technical comparison with evolutionary art.
