artrlmaya

Artrlmaya is a neologism that has appeared in online art communities to describe projects and practices at the intersection of art, technology, and digital processes. It does not denote a formal movement or governing body, and there is no single official definition.

Usage and interpretation: The word’s etymology is not standardized, and it is sometimes treated as a portmanteau of “art” and “maya” or as shorthand linked to augmented reality or machine-assisted artistry. Different practitioners assign different meanings based on their projects, leading to varied interpretations of what counts as artrlmaya.

Characteristics: In practice, artrlmaya is used to label works that combine traditional making with generative, procedural, or computational methods. Projects often involve 3D assets, procedural generation, or interactive display, and may be realized through software tools including Autodesk Maya, Unity, or Unreal Engine, sometimes presented in gallery settings, installations, or AR/VR environments.

Context and reception: As a niche descriptor, artrlmaya has not been codified in major art histories or curatorial catalogs. It serves as a loose categorization for cross-media experiments rather than a standardized genre or movement.
