Alan Ki Aankhen

:an exploration of other-worldly cityscapes in the visual aesthetic of Fahad’s distinct style with pen and paper.

The title, translated as Alan’s Eyes, alludes to Alan Turing’s machine intelligence test - a thought experiment foreshadowing a moment in which we can no longer differentiate between the real and the artificial. Though first proposed in 1950, the topic feels especially relevant today, as even our creative practices are being carried by shifting technological tides.

a map is a score for a new world

MAPS IS A GENERATIVE SCRIPT STORED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN. EACH MINT GENERATES A UNIQUE SVG USING A SEED HASH.

THE INITIAL INSPIRATION FOR MAPS WAS THE IDEA THAT GRAPHIC NOTATION CAN CREATE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OUTPUTS FOR MUSIC.

THIS LED TO USING SPRITES, A FORM OF GRAPHIC NOTATION THAT GIVES A SENSE OF HOW THINGS MOVE WITHOUT BEING ANIMATED, AS THE LAYOUT TO EXPLORE EACH WORLD.

RCS is an experimental work of art that depends on the engagement of the 1024 pixel holders.

The token holders need to attest their pixels once a year for the RCS #0 art piece to reveal itself in full. Attested pixels will appear in color; unattested pixels will be blank.

From 2022, May 20th, deca.art announced the Decathlon competition, open to submissions and judged by OG NFT artists, such as XCOPY, Tyler Hobbs, Erick Snofro, and Zancan. Deca users submitted galleries of various art themes, and they were eligible to be white-listed to become holders of the RCS tokens. In the following months, raffles were held to distribute the remaining RCS tokens to the expanding deca community.

RCS stands as an eternal symbol of permissionless art. Attest your RCS token onchain at deca.art/rcs and keep the flame lit.
