"Return" is a meditation on returning inward, cyclical change, and the beauty of iteration. The composition of each piece slowly loops, providing a new experience for the viewer over time. Created by Aaron Penne

Return #5

by Aaron Penne in partnership with FingerprintsDAO 

A long form generative art project that asks the question: Is the art in the code or the output? For on-chain generative artwork it is both, simultaneously. Tracing the lineage from Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawings to Larva Labs’ Autoglyphs, Aaron Penne’s Within/Without decouples the artist's instructions from the visual output, and those instructions are interpreted according to some element of chance. 

The familiar Autoglyph-like structure is made up of primitive forms: lines, circles, and squares. In WW these are translated to create complex rectangular structures, dreamlike gradients, and soft edges made of pixelated digital artifacts.

“Apparitions” is an exploration of the space between algorithmic and organic. Each “Apparition” is unique to the transaction that originated it. Created by Aaron Penne

Return #177

Rituals combines generative music and generative artwork to create 1000 unique windows into a singular parametric universe. The music and art are crafted to infinitely evolve, giving collectors a subtly new experience upon each viewing. If left running, a single Ritual will continue generating music and art without repeating for ~9 million years. We invite you to hold space for yourself and enjoy a moment of mindful stillness. The first 200 were minted in real life at Bright Moments in Venice, CA, USA in September 2021.

Searching Still [Mountain]

Created by Aaron Penne

Exhibited as part of Generative Abstraction at Expanded.Art Berlin in January 2023.

Curatorial Statement from the exhibition:
This series of artworks draw parallels with early abstract pieces by Hilma af Klint whose compositions originated from a place of divination. In her work the artist acted akin to a spiritual medium, opening herself to the influence of unseen forces, and creating surprising compositions for their own sake. This is not unlike the trust that generative artists put in their pseudorandom number generators. Artists creating abstract work using generative techniques gather their tools, open their minds, and let chance drive the composition. The visual language in ‘Searching Still’ carries forward from the histories of abstract art, but also continues a conceptual lineage of intentionally opening oneself to infinite possibilities.

A renewal, a bright morning, an epiphany. 

One More Day began in 2021 while anticipating the birth of our child. The artwork has come to represent the joyful expansion of each new day.
