DegenerativeGames are fully on-chain cellular automaton, using Conway's Game of Life. Each token's seed is generated by using composability: the data retrieved from Autoglyphs, the first on-chain generative art on the Ethereum blockchain, immutably making that collection the "parent" of this one.

Using Ethereum's always-on, world computer, tokens, just like real life, will degenerate over time: a cell will die approximately each week over the course of 83 years, the average life expectancy in my country.

But with each change, a new seed will generate a new Game of Life for each token, with a completely different possibility of emergent forms. A new game/artwork, roughly every week, for 83 years.

Conway called it a "zero-player" game but holders can choose to play if they want: each token can be irrevocably set to "Infinity" mode, freezing the current seed and game forever to the blockchain.

Iconomorphs is a long form series of AI generated images by STVDIO NOUVEAU.

Each Iconomorph is a text prompt AI transformation using a single source image: Icon Alpha, the Unmorphed.

The resulting outputs serve as a snapshot, a glimpse into a potential timeline and era, all stemming from the vast abstract multiverse narrative of STVDIO NOUVEAU.

The twelfth and final photo in a series of editions minted in 2023. I made this photograph yesterday during a morning walk while Vancouver was covered in unusually thick fog. I"ve made many photos of this beachfront and these benches, but there"s always something else going on. People. Crows. Ships in the background. On this particular morning things felt ominously and the fog blocked out everything making it feel like the edge of the world, and almost immediate drop off into the unknown. As 2023 comes to a close, tumultuous year that it was, there"s a similar ominous feeling about what 2024 might bring. The balance is unsteady and could tip any direction at a moments notice, and it feels to me like a pressure cooker that has been slowly building all year. I don"t know what happens next, where all of this takes us. But we are here today, looking out over the unknown together and now we wait to see what rolls in with the mist....
