Eccentrics 2: Orbits

In the month of November '22 I added every single piece I would get in the "Powered by Artblocks' Quest to this gallery.

Here are those pieces.

The International Collection

I aim to be known for but one thing: collecting the best digital art made by international artists. I will include the occasional US-based artists, because there are so many that are magical and impressive, but I want to highlight a uniquely global perspective by collecting rare art. Each of these pieces listed below is in my collection.

Three Days Of Summer

The front door in our International Collection opens with this piece from Michaël Zancan, a French oil painter-turned-digital artist whose mastery of the pen plotter evokes wonders with his mysterious flowery landscapes. Three Days of Summer was minted from Valencia, Spain at the 2022 NFTShow Europe, and invitees were given physical copies of portions of the art as well.

The blocky representations of the white plants are a stark contrast to the less prominent, more delicate garden pieces; the combination adds to the mystique, the allure, the peacefulness of this piece.

There are an almost infinite number of ways to wrap a string around a set of pegs. On the surface it may seem like a simple concept but prepare to be surprised and delighted at the variety of combinations the algorithm can produce. Each output from 'Ringers' is derived from a unique transaction hash and generated in Javascript in the browser. Feature variations include peg count, sizing, layout, wrap orientation, and a few colorful flourishes for good measure.

ZANCAN

A forest has stories to tell. About times that were, about times that will be.

This project is the long-form version of an algorithm that contains a bug. “The Bugged Tree”’s code was salvaged and stored and served as the core motivation and engine for an entire forest. Its concept is about releasing the control. I am a byproduct of evolution, an iteration of that specie who wanted utter control, and which at some point, lost control over its own creation. As a generative artist, I chose to welcome the event of chance into my creative process. The symbolism in chance made me feel humble and free. Unwilling to make any change to a story that the Tree needed to tell me, as a listener, rather than a writer of my own idealised fantasies.
