Today marks a historic milestone for the Chromie Squiggle Collection, Snowfro, SquiggleDAO, and the entire on-chain generative art community. The MoMA (@MuseumModernArt ) in New York has officially added a Full Set of Chromie Squiggles to its permanent collection!🎉 https://t.co/n19IZdjJt2
The enduring significance of Chromie Squiggles itself, Snowfro’s pioneering exploration of code as artistic medium, is what ultimately made this moment possible. We’re grateful for the generosity of collectors across the ecosystem, with special thanks to @kukulabanze & @Noahbolanowski at @1OF1_art , and all donors who contributed Squiggles to help bring this work into MoMA’s collection: @VonMises14@gmoneyNFT@jdh@ArtOnBlockchain, @kukulabanze and an Anonymous Collector.
Erick Calderon (@ArtOnBlockchain), also known as Snowfro, helped give generative art a public square. His work sits at the point where code, chance, and community meet, where a simple rule becomes a shared visual language.
Chromie Squiggle was the first project to launch on Art Blocks, the platform Calderon founded in 2020. Each work begins with a single flowing line of color, generated through code and never repeated. What appears simple is also a demonstration of long-form generative art: one system capable of producing thousands of distinct outcomes, each shaped by rules the artist wrote but could not fully predict.
TMA’s collection includes two Chromie Squiggles, and Snowfro’s work was featured in our 2025 exhibition Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms.
A Harmonic is a Ribbed Squiggle whose rib color matches one of the 11 preset background colors.
Select that background and the ribs blend in so perfectly that parts of the Squiggle seem to disappear.

SquiggleDAO has placed Squiggle #8434 at the MACBA Museum in Argentina where it will be permanently displayed using the Squiggle Display Station! 🎉🎉🎉
MACBA Buenos Aires (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires) is a leading institution in Argentina’s contemporary art scene, widely recognized for its deep focus on geometric and abstract art. Its collection emphasizes form, color, structure, and systems, creating a strong dialogue between historical geometric movements and contemporary practices. This curatorial focus makes MACBA an important platform for works rooted in logic, repetition, and visual rhythm.
The museum’s holdings include significant works by key figures in geometric and kinetic art, most notably Julio Le Parc, whose practice explores perception, movement, and viewer participation. Alongside Le Parc, MACBA’s collection reflects a broader lineage of Latin American and international geometric abstraction, reinforcing its role as a steward of systematic and perceptual art traditions.
Within this context, the Chromie Squiggle is a natural and compelling fit. MACBA has recently added a Squiggle to their permanent collection and will become the first museum to permanently display a Squiggle, a major achievement given how rare permanent displays are compared to temporary exhibitions! The museum is also the first to present the work using the Display Station, creating an interactive experience that allows visitors to engage directly with generative digital art and marking an important milestone in its institutional adoption. The Display Station will also be permanently installed at the front of the museum in order to maximize exposure and usage. The glass storefront allows anyone walking by to experience the Squiggle, maximizing exposure to foot traffic.
