A VISUAL STORY OF The ever-changing colors in scenery
Isles upon Deemed Rivers & Other Wonders
by Daïm Aggott-Hönsch
An ode to serenity and found beauty by Daïm Aggott-Hönsch, Isles upon Deemed Rivers & Other Wonders (IDROW) is a 500 piece artist-curated algorithmic collection that subverts visual identity and intent by reorganizing the pixels of its source images to produce tranquil and mystical abstracts imbued with new semantic context arising from their natural appeal to the human predilection for pareidolia.
In order to produce the series, Daïm applied his unconventional pixel-sorting algorithm to a collection of source images generated via Stable Diffusion, an AI image synthesis system, thereby radically transforming them into peaceful, often naturalistic images that disavow their origins and instead present as islands, monuments, and apparitions of a world that is at once alien and yet comfortingly familiar.

no beginning and no end
A seer, a maker, a revealer I am; a Cryptoartist I choose to be!
Daïm Aggott-Hönsch
As an algorist, apeirographer, and AI artist, Daïm has built an aesthetically and methodologically diverse practice rooted in the childhood foundations of his studies under the late Jenő Zaszlavik.
An exhibiting artist since 2015 and a cryptoartist since 2019, his achievements include being an NFT Awards 2020 Finalist, the first post-launch Art Blocks Curated Artist, a Museum of Crypto Art Genesis Artist, and a curator and participant of the Dakar Biennale 2022 "Forging the Future" exhibition.
Daïm is also a collector and a thinker, having most recently authored his cryptoart manifesto attempting to contour the amorphous boundaries and values of the evolving movement.
