Description

WORMSTAMPS is the oldest generative analog art series (2011) to inhabit the Ethereum blockchain. “Generative” means that each piece has the same preconditions and starting point, and is produced semi-randomly on them. "Analog" means that the configuration is not coded (electronically), but is replicated manually (analogically). 7 WORMSTAMPS have been painted. This is the first to be coined. For each job, dozens or hundreds of live worms were dripped in (organic) ink and thrown on a canvas. The compositions result in 1 to 7 days of free movement - the trails end when the ink runs out or the insects run away. Papafla and her son bathed and released the worms after the ritual. This nearby fish bait shop has never seen such a movement. Its wavy colors are reminiscent of the routes we choose to spend our time with, but also those we choose not to take. The days that are gone never return. At least, now, some may be forever etched in our collective memory.
