Out of Red

This original artwork, part of the "Displaced" series, combines digital and analog expressions of generative art. The drawing was first made with code using an algorithm to generate unexpected outcomes.

Over 30.000 short lines drawn, applying over 100m of paint on paper. The paper is purposely moved between the first and second layers to create a misalignment of the drawings.

Made with code (Javascript & SVG).

Original / Unique edition.
Signed and stamped.
Shipped unframed inside a tube.

@osf_rekt Let the fun times begin! Congrats! ❤️

This is a very special piece to me and it was the first time I sold an artwork that I feel deeply connected to. It's a strange feeling maybe even akin to losing a friend. Is this the blues? Weird.

It's one of the most attractive pieces in the SoS collection, but the market is the market and sometimes we just have to let it go.

Thanks @williamapan for continuously bringing us glimpses of joy and I believe it's now in good hands with @stevezee_.

Thank you, both. 🫂

Ever since Strands of Solitude was released by @williamapan over a year ago, I’ve been searching for a piece that felt right to own - checking newly listed pieces multiple times a day, every day.

A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to see #138 listed by @jpscd who has been its steward since mint. This is a special piece, featuring an echo chamber and glimpse of joy with a stunning Blues palette. It is reminiscent of Mapan’s Dragons due to the glimpse of joy and @mattdesl’s Meridians due to the undulating waves in the echo chamber.

Thank you to João for giving me the honour of carrying on the stewardship of this special piece. It is in good hands.

@thisis0xbenj @0xdgb Thanks Benj

[João Pescada @jpscd]

WOW! Room #18 looks particularly lovely to me.
The muted green colour palette and the induced left-to-right motion confirm it. Indeed, it’s 4:20.

Love it! 😍
Congrats to whoever got this one. ✨

And thank you, @0xdgb, for including my work in this collection. 🤟

At the very last hour, which only happens once every four years, I minted my first artwork of 2024. It’s a tryptic. More tomorrow.

On the last day of the week.
Time is a loop.

Hello again! I’m still here.

[João Pescada @jpscd]

I’ve been distracted in a parallel universe and just noticed it’s already been a year since I released Disdain on @fx_hash_. 🎉

Looks like it’s that time of the year again. 👀

Making prints for @williamapan had us spun around. Multiple tries before we were able to match his level of craftsmanship with a physical work that has a minimal amount of data loss from its digital counterpart.

Centrifuge is a new series of 35 unique generative artworks that we turned into textured prints. Launching on 24 January each of the outputs are a display of kinetic movements based on William's experimentation with ink flows on paper.

No detail is sacrificed in the translation from digital to physical, with each print comprised of 18 layers of tangible printed detail. A year in the making, William knew he wanted to create something unseen before, pushing the boundaries of our printmaking.

Check out all 35 works and enter the draw here: https://t.co/KAGs6Pf0qd
