Statement

ATTENTION - A deep and committed plunge into Web3 culture is required in order to appreciate the scope of this movement and the talent drawn here by the opportunity to create something entirely of its time. Here we are redefining what it means to create, own, and experience art in the 21st C.

Having made art from digital systems and algorithms since the 90s, it’s Web3 that now provides an authentic home for my creativity - as a playground, laboratory and canvas. From the domain of tokenomics and on chain standards, through the degenerate land of PFP culture, to the new Vangarde of tokenized Art: I’m here for it all!

I no longer think success as a Web3 artist is just a preamble to getting recognition from the institutional Artworld. It’s here that the new frontiers in Art are being created. Embracing Web3 fully I am committed to doing my best work to extend its expression and believe in time the wider artworld will be scrambling to catch up. Art moves forward in leaps always under the nose of the institutional Artworld. It can't actually happen any other way.

A code based practice provides me with the most native and direct expression for on-chain art. Every age has its own art. For me, the age of [ the Internet, algorithms, AI and the blockchain ] can most directly be encapsulated with code. Code is the operational layer of all these technologies. Working directly in this layer seems to be the most obvious place to open new frontiers in the space of conceivable art.
