People, places
& connections.
Art grows through people, tools and places to learn. Follow the links between people, tools, recipes and places to learn. Each relationship carries its own source.
This is a growing index. A shared institution does not establish collaboration, and a residency does not imply endorsement of this project.
Places people learned, taught & experimented
Education, teaching, research and residencies are distinct relationships. These are routes through the work, not rankings or prerequisites for belonging. Dates describe the cited record, and a shared institution does not establish collaboration.
What do people make with?
Follow a language or tool to the people and specific works linked to it. Languages, libraries and frameworks are labeled separately.

Confidence is an evidence scale, not a probability: 3/3 documented in a source; 2/3 inferred from a documented tool or project; 1/3 tentative lead. Unresearched items stay gaps rather than guessed facts. A score applies to the stated connection, not a person’s expertise.
Where paths overlap
Shared entries in this catalog, counted by distinct people. Inferred and tentative links are excluded from these overlap counts. Follow a link to see their roles and sources.
Code & open collections
Verified accounts connect people to public repositories, with dated activity snapshots and available license metadata. A public repository is not automatically open source. Missing links remain research gaps.
Where the research is thin
These counts describe missing documentation in this collection. They do not measure an artist’s importance or the full history of a field.
