Toobins

PROOF teamed up with The Worm (twitter.com/TheWormNFT) to create Toobins Run, a "share-to-mint" experience just for Moonbirds!  

**This collection page will serve as a home for all Toobins Charms, but none can be sold. Please don't attempt to buy or sell your Charms since they are WALLET BOUND!** 

Toobins will travel through the Moonbirds community, leaving behind a wallet-bound Toobins Charm NFT in each wallet. Find Toobins under "Current Holder" at the bottom of https://www.proof.xyz/toobins! 

To participate, follow Toobins and connect with fellow holders to get on the list. When you have Toobins, you can simply transfer it to the wallet (or delegated hot wallet) of any other Moonbird. 

Once Toobins leaves your wallet, a WALLET-BOUND Toobins Charm will be left in its place!

Tajir by zolfaqqari

Tajir means a thick curtain that is not hung. It"s based on wooden columns, and used to divide the space of a house like a free-standing wall.

Evolving Pixels is an exhibition centered around the theme of growth. The show invites a set of diverse digital artists who work with computational technologiesnamely, generative or AI-assistedto investigate what growth means to them. 

PROOF has partnered with Art Blocks and Venus Over Manhattan to bring Evolving Pixels to life. The long-form generative collections in the exhibition are being delivered with the Art Blocks Engine. From April 12-24, Venus Over Manhattan will display Evolving Pixels at their Soho gallery in New York City.

**"aaa"** is a generative art system inspired by abstract artists such as *Jackson Pollock*, *Brice Marden*, and *Kazimir Malevich*. Abstract art appeals to me over other forms because it compels the viewer to use their imagination. You could argue that this art form is like a mirror, a pieces perception being reflective of its observer. Similar to how red can symbolize anger, love, and danger. An abstract piece can evoke a multitude of feelings. I believe this to be a unique value of abstract art.

While a human can choose a colour to communicate a feeling, a machine lacks the cognitive ability to do so. Therefore, the program uses randomized probabilities in an attempt to create a wide array of styles. I have taken reference from the drawing styles of *K Malevich*, *Piet Mondrian*, *Brice Marden*, and *Joan Mitchell*. The styles demonstrated by these artists range from symmetric to loose and erratic, combined with 32 colour palettes compiled through experimentation and inspiration.

VOICE GEMS

In 2021, Herbert W. Franke and Harry Yeff started a conversation about the concept of VOICE GEMS and an audio-visual collaboration. Franke suggested using the lyrics of ASTROPOETICON because they are a minimalist and associative approach to language that could have been created by an AI. These lyrics were frozen as gemstones, the VOICE GEMS ASTROPOETICON, created by Herbert W. Franke, Harry Yeff, Trung Bao and an AI. (The first three 1/1s have been minted and collected in 2021.)

The lyrics used for the VOICE GEMS ASTROPOETICON (DESTINATION IN UNCERTAINTY) belong to a cycle of 16 poems called ASTROPOETICON. Written by Franke in 1979 to be published in a book alongside artworks by German space artist Andreas Nottebohm, he voiced them on the occasion of his 80th birthday in 2007. 

Every voice is unique, and with that comes unique fingerprint-like data that can be used for bespoke and human centred generative design. Harry Yeff (aka REEPS100) and Trung Bao have developed a voice-centred generative system utilising data found in a human voice to synthesise the artworks form and colour. Features like pitch, resonance, harmonics and pace sculpt 200 000 particle data points in a simulated digital space. The VOICE GEMS series is a vibrant, unprecedented meditation highlighting remarkable and influential voices. Each VOICE GEM is added to the VOICE GEMS: 1000 Year archive. 

Herbert W. Franke (19272022) was a pioneer of computer art who anticipated the metaverse. For several decades, he separated three lives: the caver and scientist; the artist and curator; and the science fiction author. In the early 1950s, caving led him to experiment with light and technology. He kept his curiosity throughout his life; it was his drive to examine new technologies for their artistic potential. His pioneering spirit made him one of the first computer artists who was more than six decades ahead of his time. In 1979, he co-founded Ars Electronica. Franke has been called the most prominent German science fiction writer by Die Zeit, and a short story fireworker by the FAZ. In 2022, his first NFT Drop MATH ART sold out within 30 seconds on Quantum, and he was the headliner at the Tezos Booth at Art Basel with MONDRIAN, a work from 1979. Herbert W. Franke died on July 16, 2022, at the age of 95, leaving behind an extensive oeuvre.

Presented by EXPANDED.ART in collaboration with art meets science  Foundation Herbert W. Franke and ELEMENTUM.ART on the occasion of Herbert W. Frankes solo show CODED BEAUTY at EXPANDED.ART in Berlin. The art meets science  Foundation Herbert W. Franke will use their portion of the sales for a designated purpose: translating significant texts by Herbert W. Franke to English and making them publicly available.



ASTROPOETICON DESTINATION IN UNCERTAINTY by Herbert W. Franke  
Destination in uncertainty 	
solar sail unfolded  
ride on the ion beam  
home port: beyond space and time  
sensors, directed to the void 
signals from the dark field  
circuits on hold 
ice crystals in the cells  
veins without blood  
memory wiped out  
the past: obliterated  
existence between dream and death  
will there be an awakening?  
will there be any hope  
in front: clouds and cosmic dust  
behind it maybe  
a galaxy 
star systems, suns  
planets bathed in warmth and light -  
wake-up call from the tape  
uncharted territory!  
behind it, perhaps:  
a void
