Autoglyphs
They are a completely self-contained mechanism for the creation and ownership of an artwork.
Autoglyphs are an experiment in generative art. each one unique and created by code running on the Ethereum blockchain.
The glyphs were originally created in 2019 by anyone who was wiling to donate the creation fee of 0.25E (around $35 at the time) to Larva Labs chosen charity. 350.org.
The creator of each glyph became the first owner of that glyph.
After 512 glyphs were created, the generator shut itself off forever and the glyphs are only available on the secondary market
CryptoPunks
The CryptoPunks are one of the earliest examples of a "Non-Fungible Token" on Ethereum, and were inspiration for the ERC-721 standard that powers most digital art and collectibles.
The Punks inspired the modern CryptoArt movement and the 10K PFP mania of 2021

Manolo is an Argentinian visual artist and creative coder
His work sits at the intersection of chaos and order and is incredibly unique yet diverse in its being
Manolo is a legendary figure in the generative art community and some of his top outputs are 1/1s
The Lost Robbies
AI Generated Nude Portrait #7 Frame #96
Frame #44
Frame #193
Robbie Barratt is the first artist to mint on SuperRare
Barratt explored a wide variety of domains and uses neural networks as part of his art
In 2018, Christie's held their annual Art and Tech Summit and invited SuperRare to add a gift to gift bags of 300+ attendees
SuperRare enlisted Robbie Barratt to tokenize AI Generated Nude Portrait #7 to be given away to attendees through a gift card in their gift bag.
Most attendees threw their gift cards and thus most of the tokens were never claimed. Only 38 have been claimed so far and a handful of unscratched cards still exist
Chromie Squiggles
#927
Chromie Squiggles are the largest and first project on the Art Blocks platform and were created by Snowfro(the founder of Artblocks)
Squiggles also serve as the logo of Art Blocks
In the words of snowfro, each squiggle embodies the soul of the Art Blocks Platform, simple, yet complex.
The 6529 Museum has 1 of only 10 possible complete vertical sets with a full spectrum variant
Genesis
#20
Genesis launched on Day 1 of Art Blocks platform launch
A block hash string is interpreted into a visual composition using a set of algorithmic rules
Compositions may contain grids, lines, gradients, colors and shapes that harmonize with each other
It is a historically significant piece of art
#283
#295
Construction Token
#455
Each construction token is unique and contains a randomized seed that determines the composition of each output.
This includes the color, shape and placement of the rectangles
Construction token was also released on the genesis day of Art Blocks and is an icon in it's own right

Each singularity is unique
Symmetry, Chaos, Mass, Force and Turbulence are driven by data extracted from the transaction hash.
Rarer color sets and extra saturation are what catch the eye with this masterpiece

RINGERS
Dmitri Cherniak
There are an infinite number of ways to tie a string around a set of pegs
Ringers was one of the first examples of on-chain generative long form art that was a viewer's delight
One can scroll through a 1000 iterations and still be left in awe and longing

Archetype
Kjetil Golid
Archetype is an ode to repetition as a counterweight to unruly shapes
It is considered a top tier Art Blocks collection and has extremely pleasing aesthetics across the board
The algorithm for Archetype also served as the base for the Decagon.

It’s such a shame I fixed this bug
This masterpiece was minted by Cherniak on SuperRare
A set of shapes is on dropped onto three descending platforms, while polygon offsetting is used on the union of all the forms to create the striped look surrounding them. There is a bug in the code such that the coloring algorithm actually didn't work as expected on closed loops.
"Though I fixed the bug in later iterations, this output remains the most special to me - perhaps I shouldn't have fixed it."
Thus came the name of The Lost Robbies(or TLRs for short).They are greatly valued as they symbolised the initial rejection of the TradArt world towards NFTs.

Subscapes
Matt Deslauriers
#405
A generative algorithm that draws the impression of a landscape from a multitude of possibilities. The unique seed from each token drives the parametric assortment of lines, colors, and forms into a constructed composition.
Matt Deslauriers is a highly regarded and legendary generative artist behind subscapes
Matt's blog outlines how he made subscapes and also has several tools for generative art enthusiasts

CENTURY
Casey Reas
"CENTURY is my homage to paintings and drawings from the twentieth century and the countless hours I’ve spent looking at them. The references span the origins of concrete and non-objective art to color-field painting and minimalism."
#563

#853
It is an iconic piece of on-chain generative art by an iconic artist.
The 6529 Museum has editions of multiple palettes and statistically rare traits
FIDENZA
Tyler Hobbs
Fidenza is an incredible algorithm and is one of the elitest examples on chain generative art
In the words of Tyler Hobbs, "Fidenza is by far my most versatile algorithm to date. Although the program stays focused on structured curves and blocks, the varieties of scale, organization, texture, and color usage it can employ create a wide array of generative possibilities."
Each piece is unique and even though, there is a wide array of outputs, each piece is undeniably a Fidenza
Fidenzas will remain a pillar for all on-chain generative art in the future and for CryptoArt as a whole

Fidenza #313
The Tulip is the landmark piece of the 6529 Generative Art collection. It will eventually become one of the most well known and recognisable pieces of generative art in the world.
Pigments
Darien Brito
#46
Pigments is an exploration of color and spacial distortion
Each animated piece is an abstract representation of a micro or macro environment
It's mesmerising to watch and each output has it's own unique motion

Gazers
Matt Kane
"Since the dawn of humanity, the Moon's phases have fascinated humans, influencing any number of activities on Earth including ocean tides, seasons, harvests, migrations, hunting, crime, sleeping, sex, and has inspired countless works of art." - Matt Kane
Gazers is one of the most complex projects of generative art ever conceived. It is a dynamically updating NFT linked to the Earth's Lunar Cycles
Nobody knows the full extent of their behaviour. They are permanent performance art, alive until the blockchain stays alive.

Thank you for coming!
Hope you enjoyed the ride!
It was impossible to curate everything in the expansive and ever growing 6529 collections.
I ended up curating pieces that either have significant historical value or pieces I absolutely love.
This gallery will be a work-in-progress as I expand on it in the future.
The gallery ticket below is a commemorative token to document your visit to the 6529 MoGA curated by amtwo.
It also motivates me to keep creating more such experiences in the future!

You see that #445 son? I paperhanded that
"Can a computer draw like a human?" The question is asked and challenged once more through "Anticyclone".
Anticyclones are a weather phenomena. They pierce through darkness to instill peace and calm. Their planetary scale reminds us of how little we are and how powerful they can be.
William Mapan is an artist, coder, and teacher based in France. Best known for his series, Dragons (2021) and Anticyclone (2022), his work is dedicated to bridging worlds through color, texture, and composition in order to create the unexpected.

The hash of each token describes a coordinate within a multidimensional generative space, locating a unique composition that lies along one of many possible longitudes.
The software is a 15 kilobyte, self-contained JavaScript program that constructs stratified landforms using hundreds of thousands of small strokes of colour.

Meridian is a long-form generative art project and algorithm created by Matt DesLauriers.
The project is a visual treat and the sheer number of color palettes on display is astounding
