Eko33 is a Swiss-French generative artist who has been at the forefront of digital arts since 1999 when he started writing code to create generative artworks and installations. He made his debut using a Commodore SX-64 and floppy disks. Since then, his work has been exhibited in Museums, International art fairs, and biennales. His work is focused on nonfigurative, generative art while using custom algorithms and innovative technology.
"I create deterministic generative art based on crypto hash seeds, Maximizing algorithmic diversity." - Eko33
Lucky Oracles #94
Lucky Oracles #252
Lucky Oracles #170
Bearing a stark resemblance to the cover piece of this series, #170 is my favourite from the ones I own (if art can ever be owned, that is). It brings back memories of the Danube dotted with mystical blobs of colourful clouds in the horizon.

Eko33 chose to use triangles as the fundamental shape for this new collection. Beyond mathematical significance, triangles also represent a key pillar of the way physical, spiritual, and virtual environments are being built. By playing with force, compression and tension, Eko33 evokes some key factors one could enjoy living a fulfilling life while providing an insightful set of emotions reinforced by colors selected from sacred and esoteric books.
Luck plays a significant role in Eko33’s works, as each of them is the result of a chain of random events being integrated and directed into his own creative systems. This integration and use of randomness as a force is here to highlight his hypothesis that luck is not just an external condition but can be created through hard work, perseverance, and dedication.
In order to illustrate this point, each collector was able to experiment and create their own luck. During the minting process, each collector was able to decide, up to five times, if they want to mint what they have in front of them or randomize all parameters again. Each time the collector decided to give it another chance, the previous work was burned and only the new one was available for purchase.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man....
......Oracles #93 and #103 with their own ragged edges of the river banks and a chaotic dispersion of rocks on the river bed are Eko33's testimonies to Heraclitus
This new way of collecting generative art is here to question collectors about what they enjoy and expect from the art collecting experience.
