Here is something I’ve been working on for a while.
BITMAP - A generative, live token that creates a 3D data sculpture based on a Bitcoin block it randomly picks every day and leaving trails that capture its daily visual states.
I also made a website where you can check out its daily outputs and mint them to make them permanent on the blockchain.

I've open-sourced and published a step-by-step guide on how Bitmap was created.
The system executes a routine that runs on @rendernetwork. Every 24 hours, it constructs and renders the artwork on decentralised machines.
You can find the details here:

LATTICE is live at @artechouse NYC for the next 3 months!
Thanks, @artechouse and @rendernetwork, for including my work. It was a fun challenge to experiment with the space as a canvas.
LATTICE - An experimental immersive piece combining my generative workflows with a spatial, cinematic experience.
I'll be exhibiting the 3-minute experience I've created for @artechouse NYC space in collaboration with @rendernetwork. Starting September 19.
Details below 👇
Milestone unlocked: @MhxAlt recently crossed 74K+ frames rendered on @rendernetwork.
From onchain wallet data to evolving 3D sculptures, he’s proving what’s possible with decentralized GPU rendering.
Preview @MhxAlt’s generative blockchain sculptures 👇
One of the first digital artists to build on the @rendernetwork API + one of 16 featured in SUBMERGE: Beyond the Render @artechouse.
This September, I'll be exhibiting my work at the stunning space of @artechouse NYC alongside some of the most incredible artists on the planet.
Looking forward to sharing more soon.
Until then, check out the details and artist line-up below.

I had a great chat with @yayowam from @rendernetwork, about generative art and Zen Blocks. Thankful for their support in allowing me to work on some of these cutting-edge and pretty untapped areas of generative art and spotlighting my work.
Learn how @MhxAlt built a workflow where Houdini directly talks to the @rendernetwork API - automating 1,000s of renders using onchain data to generate 3D sculptures.
