I love making dynamic art, but the art never gets displayed in the right way... 😢
My latest artwork contains an entire generative system where randomness is seeded by time. This means that any given visual is specific to the moment (~10 second window) and will never show up again. It also opens the possibility for unique, synchronized generative experiences. Multiple people who tune in at the same time, linked together in a synchronized, randomized dance of pixels to which no one else has access. Kind of like going to a show that’s different each time its performed.

Bidding for ‘Searching For Answers On Jupiter’ ends tomorrow on Sotheby’s at 2pm ET!

A new time-dynamic work of mine, 'Searching For Answers On Jupiter', will be available on Sothebys starting tomorrow, Oct 9 ✨

This on-chain 1/1 artwork contains an entire generative system. Every few seconds, the artwork reveals a new, unique scene on Jupiter to anyone watching 👽 If two people load the work at the same time, you'll get synchronized and will follow the same meandering journey across the planet 🛸

Pohualli #2 (owned by @cos) at 361 days old, celebrating Mexican Independence Day (today) with its 🇲🇽 inspired colors!
Back in Oaxaca for a week, a place I find infinitely inspiring for art. Working on a secret Mexico-themed project while I'm here :)

In the meantime, here's a young Pohualli #55 (owned by 74v3n) in its second lifetime, just 156 days old today. Love this minimal look!

Alan Ki Aankhen #140, one of three AKAs picked up by a new anon collector 🙏

If you own an AKA and want to order a print, I have a window for working on these the next 5 days! Prints are by far the best way to experience this series.
Sometimes a face emerges in the perfect location of a code-based, Aztec-inspired, time-dynamic, generative artwork. The gods of randomness nod in approval, blessing the pixels for use in their altar.

Pohualli #90, 1456 days old today, owned by rubens.
Pohualli #65, owned by TravisD. Absolutely love how this creature is looking after growing for 21 months since initial mint!

Prints are by far the BEST way to experience Alan Ki Aankhen! This generative project was an experiment is capturing my drawing style with ink & paper through a generative (non-AI) system. To see the digital works printed with ink on paper completes the cycle.

CHRONOCENTRISM: the egotism that one's own generation is poised on the very cusp of history. (What a time to be alive, right?)

And how it looks today 🥰
