This is what I have figured out so far…. but I can’t seem to get the seed to work with the session and keeping random working with pagination.

Not sure if this is a Genesis issue at this point, my code, or WordPress.

global $post;
  
$query = new WP_Query( 
  array( 
    'post_type' => 'artist', 
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'fields' => 'ids',
    'meta_query' => array(
    	array(
        	'key' => 'artist_gallery'
            )
		  )
        ) 
      );
        $seed = $_SESSION['seed'];
        if (empty($seed)) {
          $seed = rand();
          $_SESSION['seed'] = $seed;
        }
        $args = array( 
            'post_type' => 'attachment', 
            'post_status' => 'inherit',
            'orderby' => 'RAND(' . $seed . ')',
            'post_mime_type' => 'image', 
            'posts_per_page' => 30, 
            'post_parent__in' => $query->posts, 
            'order' => 'DESC' 
            );
  
 	global $wp_query;
    $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args ); 

    if ( have_posts() ) : 
        while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
			$image_attachment = get_attachment_link( get_the_ID() );
			$img_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_the_ID(), 'medium');
			$alt = get_the_title();
echo '	
			<div class="col-md-4"> 
				<a href='. $image_attachment .'>
					<img src="'. $img_src[0] .'" alt="'. $alt .'" />
				</a>
				<p>'. $image["caption"] .'</p>
			</div>
';
	endwhile;
	do_action( 'genesis_after_endwhile' );
endif;				

// Restore original Post Data
	wp_reset_postdata();
