Layer is a living digital art platform that curates code-based generative artwork and ultra-high-resolution video art for everyday display. Its developer surface is an artist-facing, first-party TypeScript SDK (a browser global, $layer) that lets creators declare customizable parameters, register a canvas for screenshot capture, and supply generated video previews back to Layer Studio, alongside published guidelines for generative and Ultra Res artwork. Layer is a portfolio company of Bloomberg Beta and Emergence Capital, added to the API Evangelist network and enriched from its public developer documentation. Layer exposes a client-side SDK rather than a public REST/HTTP API.
