Chromie SquiggleS: An Exploration

A Perfect Spectrum Squiggle - One of just 20 in the collection. Perfect Spectrum Squiggles show each of the 256 colors just once.

At their heart, Chromie Squiggles are variations on two basic traits - type and color. Comprised of 6 types and 256 colors, we find practically infinite variation through different compositions of these traits.

The Hall of Collectoooors

Some of the most well-known collectors in the world of NFTs collect Chromie Squiggles. But why? Uniformly, all of these collectors have great respect and admiration for generative art and understand the history of NFTs. Chromie Squiggles are the embodiment of these things. They are excellent examples of generative art - instantly recognizable, yet featuring strong diversity across the collection. And they are historic - created as a genesis collection on one of the most important generative art platforms by its founder. Chromie Squiggles will be taught in art history classes and the influence of Chromie Squiggles, their creator, and the generative art platform through which they were minted cannot be understated.

A Brief Introduction to Chromie Squiggles

Chromie Squiggles are one of three Art Blocks genesis projects, released for minting on November 27, 2020. They were created by Erik "Snowfro" Calderon, who is also the founder of the Art Blocks generative platform. Of the three genesis projects, Squiggles are the largest project (with total possible mints of 10,000 pieces) and were the least expensive to mint upon release, at just 0.035 ETH.

Public minting of Squiggles was halted before the collection was completed, with Snowfro retaining the last 1,000 Squiggles to distribute at his discretion. Of the 1,000 Squiggles that Snowfro originally retained, 624 have now been minted. You can read more about Snowfrow's decision to pause minting here.
