I will release my next artwork on Monday!
I've been working for a while on a new series of artworks exploring decentralized networks as a computational medium for artificial life. Life native to the medium: DeLife.
The first artwork of the series, Abiogenesis, explores a world of tiny programs interacting, rewriting themselves, sometimes evolving the ability to replicate. Artificial life directly executed by Ethereum itself.
This is also my first release outside fxhash. Building a platform has shaped so much of my practice, and I want to explore ideas beyond the constraints of that format. More freedom to experiment with how a work lives, evolves, and how people interact with it.
Maybe these experiments can help shape what the artist toolkits of the future look like.
Curious/excited/nervous to see where this goes.
You can learn more about the project on the website.
When ? Monday, October 5, at 16:00 UTC
How much ? 0.05 ETH / edition

WWW! Theme 2/4 → ⭑ Abstraction ⭑
WEBSITES WEBSITES WEBSITES! (WWW!) is on view in New York through September 27, and online the exhibition is organized into four themes, each a distinct path through thirty years of art on the web.
⭑ Anarchy
⭑ Abstraction
⭑ Poetic Computing
⭑ Ghosts
We're introducing them one by one. Today:
⭑ ABSTRACTION
After the dot-com boom, social media changed how we use the web. Surfing became scrolling, and the rabbit holes one could wander into were flattened into feeds.
Abstraction carries a double meaning. Creatively, the 2010s saw a wave of artists using websites as vitrines for live, web-native generative work — visually abstract, and viewable by anyone, anywhere, with a connection. But abstraction also names the black-boxing of technology: complex processes hidden away to present seamless user experiences, often to the detriment of the individual. These artists use the browser for both visual exploration and scrutiny, setting the beauty of computational processes against a less comfortable question: how much of the technology we use every day can we actually see or understand?

Ho appena creato questo Art Zoom Out nel mio Culture Studio: ispirato da Pieter Bruegel il Vecchio The Tower of Babel di Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Dai un'occhiata e poi crea il tuo: https://t.co/hoADy0qpvr
