ABOUT THE ARTWORK: 100 PRINT is a nonfigurative, abstract generative drawing system based on the principles of visual perspective.
Each edition is made up of carefully constructed lines and shapes that fit into a multidimensional world created on the fly, inviting the viewer to let their eyes wander and find pockets of what appear to be deliberately constructed objects in 3D space.
100 PRINT is an experimental project that draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources, including cubist and abstract expressionist artworks, printer test sheets, and MC Escher sketches. It represents a raw display of powerful drawing principles that have governed the construction of many artworks before it.
PHYSICAL PRINT DETAILS: Each piece will be a 24”x36” giclee print on German Etching high quality paper, encased in museum grade acrylic, custom white gallery frame by Tribeca Printworks.
Every print will include a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by both the artist and the collector, mapped to the corresponding NFT.
Dead Ringers: Edition by Dmitri Cherniak
Every day in January 2022 I generated a new output from an algorithm, generated a random wallet address, and sent the work to that address.
On the final day, January 31st, all the previous Dead Ringers were placed in a 5 by 6 grid and minted to a generated address.
It was almost guaranteed none of the wallets that received Dead Ringers would ever be accessible given there are 16 to power of 40 available addresses.
I hoped it would help observers appreciate the vastness of the address space and the underlying security it provides to the network used to distribute the work.
The Dead Ringers: Edition flips that notion on its head. Now an edition of January 31, 2022, colloquially known as the Dead Ringers grid, is available for every address if they want one. An edition size capped at 16 to the power of 40.

Skulptuur by Piter Pasma
#397 (left) #710 (right)
An exploration in generating forms in 3-dimensional space. This exclusive set of sculptures has been carved from a sea of infinite possibilities, much like a sculptor creates a singular reality from the potential in a block of stone.
The shapes are illuminated by a variety of complex virtual lighting environments and yet the piece retains algorithmic minimalism with the code reduced to its pure essence – 6370 bytes.

Sudfah #194 & #313 by Melissa Wiederrecht
Sudfah (Arabic for "happy accident") is a generative collection celebrating the beauty that can emerge from chaos, mistakes, and accidents.A single calligraphic line intends to tell one story (sometimes wandering and confused in its own right, but always meandering from one side to the other).Digital liquid is spilled upon it and takes the ink in directions that are unexpected, uncontrolled, and tell a much more interesting story than the one the line intended.... and often more beautiful.

Two Mathematicians by BY MA #5, #25 & #291 (from left to right, top to bottom)
This project explores the highly mathematical world of Islamic geometric patterns.
Islamic design is one of the world's great artistic traditions, but not much is known about the methods used by artisans in centuries past to construct them. One of the first attempts to formalize the geometry behind Islamic patterns was E.H. Hankin's seminal 1908 paper "Polygons in Contact", which remains a key technique today. Our project combines the approach described by Hankin with transformations of designs found at real-world historical sites.
Two Mathematicians avoids traditional ornamentation and colouring. It seeks to find beauty in the geometry of the patterns themselves, embellishing only with subtle combinations of basic line and dot shapes. Its two archetypes contrast the precision and order found in Islamic patterns with the informality of a rough draft. In that, it reflects the personalities of its creators, alternating between the obsessive need for order and exactness, and the embrace of just winging it.
Para Bellum #806, #914, #231 by Matty Mariansky
Para Bellum() is about the conflict of emotion and gut instinct versus logic and reason. Emotions are portrayed by color fields; logic is illustrated by words. These two forces are fighting for dominance over the canvas.Under the hood, Para Bellum utilizes a thin language engine that was trained by reading dozens of books about rebellion and anarchy to generate (mostly) non-existent English phrases. An on-chain embedded font is used to render the familiar, readable letter shapes against the abstract fuzzy color fields.() Para Bellum is half of the Latin phrase “Si vis pacem, para bellum”. If you want peace, prepare for war.

Alan Ki Aankhen #70 by Fahad Karim
Alan Ki Aankhen is an exploration of other-worldly cityscapes in the visual aesthetic of Fahad’s distinct style with pen and paper. The title, translated as Alan’s Eyes, alludes to Alan Turing’s machine intelligence test - a thought experiment foreshadowing a moment in which we can no longer differentiate between the real and the artificial. Though first proposed in 1950, the topic feels especially relevant today, as even our creative practices are being carried by shifting technological tides.
The algorithms and decision-making encoded into this generative art project intentionally imitate Fahad’s approach on traditional mediums - composition rules, textures, and overall themes. The visual elements are inspired by Fahad’s memories from his nomadic life. You’ll find intricate windows from Rajasthan, massive Egyptian pyramids rising from the horizon, a density of civilization only seen in New York, and the moon - a comforting and shared sight no matter where you stand.
ieva #5, #243, #277 by Shvembldr
Ieva is an algorithm that creates a shape in a specific sequence from a random point on the grid and smooths out its corners. Overlapping such shapes creates endless possibilities of combinations that will always remain balanced and aesthetically pleasing.The title of this project is the name of the investigator who made a criminal case against me for making art. This name occupied a big part of my mind while working on this project. And I decided that it should be perpetuated in art.

Perpetua #69 by Punch Card Collective
A collection of generative weavings by Annie Blazejack, Peter Boyer, Geddes Levenson, and Alex Rubinsteyn.
Woven fabric emerges from a series of binary choices as horizontal threads go over or under vertical threads. These decisions are systematic, giving rise to an infinite variety of patterns. In essence, weaving is a practice of meticulous matrix multiplication calculated in threads.
We construct each Perpetua image, just like many weavers do, as the product of three binary matrices (the “treadling”, “tie-up”, and “threading”). This kind of design schematic is called a weaving draft and it allows us to converse with traditional weaving patterns and symbols while also extending into alien weavings that would be physically impossible to produce.
Our project grounds computational generative art in this historical arc:
Controls:

Weavers throughout history have designed generative art
Weavers invented proto-computational weaving machines
Weaving machines inspired modern computers
Modern computer programs design weavings
An edition of 320 Perpetua outputs was released on the ArtBlocks platform on March 24th, 2022.
