This excellent article by Matt DesLauriers gives a broad overview of the “crypto art” space, including the use of “Non-Fungible Tokens” (NFTs) as a digital art distribution mechanism
Dan Catt made these two YouTube video explainers:
What is generative art? Plus, NFTs & the blockchain.
What is Long-Form Generative Art?
A few selected collections are described below. The work section on this website contains more information about selected works.
Layers is a collection of up to 144 mints, released on Eclipse.art, one of the first open platforms on Ethereum. Mints are still available for 0.1 eth here! It is recommended to watch the live view of the mints in your browser, to watch how the code will draw the artwork pixel by pixel.
Attraction was published on ArtBlocks on December 17th, 2021.
All 444 unique variations have been minted. The collection can be seen on the official ArtBlocks website and secondary purchases are possible through OpenSea.
All artworks are generated from 3327 bytes of pure JavaScript code, which is on chain.
Astratta was published on GEN.art on November 19th, 2021 and all 500 unique variations have been minted. Secondary purchases are possible through OpenSea.
All artworks are generated from pure JavaScript code, which is uploaded on chain here.
Triangle Subdivisions is a showcase how little code can generate a lot of variation. Only 638 bytes of JavaScript are needed to generate the entire collection of 638 unique artworks. The code is pinned on IPFS, and the collection can be seen here.
I made this page to display all the 638 variations, ordered by their 'subdivision strategy', so they are grouped together.
As a bonus, you can add any mint number to that url, to tile the entire page with the same artwork. Example for mint #53.
The following donations were made from my Ethereum wallet. Clicking on the amount will link to the transaction on Etherscan.
1.0 ETH to COTAP to offset carbon (via The Giving Block)Two of my artworks 'Astratta for Ukraine' have been auctioned for a total of 0.205 ETH, with all the proceeds going to
Unchain Fund, to support Ukraine with humanitarian aid.
This auction has been initiated by GEN.art and the collection can be seen here.
The total proceeds of the auction for this entire collection are transferred in this transaction.
