100x10x1

(WORK IN PROGRESS)

100 component layers, each of 10 elements, together make 1 composite artwork.

100x10x1 Composition A (testnet)

Project Description

The 100x10x1 series of works are each made of 100 layer tokens, that each consist of 10 layers, that together form 1 composite (100x10x1). The first project in this framework, is Composition A, (full title 100x10x1 Composition A or 100x10x1-A for short). It is inspired by abstract expressionism, and it uses a palette based on sunsets in Durham, NC where I and my family live.

Technically, the hardest part is ensuring that the entire project from art generation to collector interaction is handled by the EVM. All assets are generated on-chain, and the project is dynamic/evolving based on actions performed by the community of token owners – on-chain and interacting with the token-controlling contract. Each project in this series is a collaborative artwork, where in each project, every token owner can put their mark on the collective artwork while always retaining their own unique mint.

In the first project, Composition A, I explore simple random β€˜marks’ like small ellipses resembling drips, simple and complex curves, and simple and complex lines. Each mark is completely random, but always using a deterministic subpalette.

100x10x1-A is (hopefully) launching in ’24, to a select group of collectors, but as I’ve already spent years perfecting this, I’m in no rush to release.
