On-chain art & engineering · since 2021

Permanent art that contemplates impermanence.

  1. Rakel

    Art

    Rakel

    After Richter's squeegee. Sixty-four works, kept on chain as the instructions that paint them.

  2. KVM1

    Engineering

    KVM1

    The Kohi Virtual Machine. A small stack machine on Ethereum. The chain itself draws the art, rather than hand your browser a script.

  3. Gooch Island Passport

    Engineering

    Gooch Island Passport

    CryptoDickbutts Season 4, a fully on-chain collection that decays over time. I wrote all of the Solidity.

  4. CryptoDickbutts Chained

    Engineering

    CryptoDickbutts Chained

    All 5,200 CryptoDickbutts, rendered on-chain. The renderer is CC0.

  5. CrypToadz Chained

    Engineering

    CrypToadz Chained

    All 6,969 CrypToadz, rendered fully on-chain by a tokenURI renderer.

  6. The Universe Machine

    Engineering

    The Universe Machine

    A 56,000-instance flow field by Joshua Davis, translated by hand to Solidity. The first piece with on-chain metadata.

    Art: praystation (Joshua Davis)

  7. ChainToadz

    Engineering

    ChainToadz

    An on-chain GIF encoder in Solidity. Each CrypToad renders from a few hundred bytes, with no server.

  8. City Lights

    Engineering

    City Lights

    A generative cityscape by eepmon. I translated it by hand to Solidity on the Kohi engine.

    Art: eepmon

  9. Kohi

    Engineering

    Kohi

    A generative-art engine in Solidity. In 2021 the engine worked, but the tokenURIs did not return the images yet.

  10. Kintsugi

    Art

    Kintsugi

    The first Kohi collection. An on-chain engine makes each watercolour, but the token points to IPFS.

  11. Flow Study

    Art

    Flow Study

    Nine studies in flow fields. My first work.

About

I make generative art on Ethereum. My own works are Kintsugi and Rakel.

I also build infrastructure that keeps art on chain, from the Kohi engine to the KVM. On Kohi, I brought the work of two other artists to the chain: City Lights by eepmon and The Universe Machine by Joshua Davis (praystation).

I publish as wattsy.

Each work here links to its contract.
