The Twelve Days of CryptoArt is a collection celebrating the artists, technology, and most importantly: the ART. Each season comes from a twelve-day blind mint event held by UltraDAO with top crypto artists debuting new works for the first time.

Untitled Panorama #1 is a composition made from 24 photographs of a digitized photograph originally made with medium format film and displayed on a full HD screen. This image is a meditation on the digital realm as a landscape, one that exists beyond a screen or projection and that is increasingly inhabited by us in one way or another. 

Thinking about the traditional approach to landscape by American photographers such as Robert Adams, I wanted to create a landscape that felt as if it could be inhabited without losing sight that the thing we are seeing is behind a screen, so I let most of its imperfections be, resulting in an image that is distorted by the zoom of the image and the type of screen in which it's displayed. With this image, I wanted to talk about the experience of looking at a screen and its implications on our perception of reality.

*ForgetCode Instruction*

1) Complete the code in 60 minutes. 
2) Export the graphics. 
3) Discard the code. 

Daily coding is a process of writing, composing, and binding code. This time, however, I had 60 minutes to write code and then delete it to complete my work. As a result, I will never be able to recreate the details of this code. I wanted to include a sense of wabi in the code I would write as I expected to part with it all.

Finished in the final hours of 2022, "Heron" is my latest exploration into contrast and digital texturing. It is the first piece where I set myself a fixed dimension aspect ratio of 16:9, perfect for the elongated body of a young person. The human anatomy has always fascinated me but most recently I have only used it as a starting off point for my work. Not focusing on naturalism and, similar to the piece "The Swimmer", abstracting the head beyond recognition has had a freeing and inspiring effect. The Heron, standing tall, is half submerged in water, in my eyes this is a pond. Instead of giving us answers we ask ourselves, why did he enter the water? What pulled him there?

The piece is digitally painted, its size is 6105 x 3434 pixels at 300dpi.

Close studies the contrast of solitude against the ever-present connective pressure of modern society. The subject gazes away from the viewer and external grasps in defiant self preservation questioning the ability to achieve true intimacy with one"s self.

In this work, I try to combine two techniques together in the spirit of flat colour. First a base built from an algorithm and destructured using an artificial intelligence process, then an overlay of algorithmic generation as a pencil drawing to express the finesse on top of this arid and rough base. Should we see it as an allegory of human society, man can produce horror as well as beauty.

Tyx` is an evolution of the original Tych algorithm, generating both a positive and negative side and combining these together through abstract geometric masking. Inspired by x-rays, by breaking the natural flow of the doodles the work tries to emphasise the structural elements of the doodles and scribbles.

If you write the prompt "best shirt being worn by the person with the best face ever made in basaia style" to the best AI ever, I think you would get this, not denying or affirming.
