Jiwa presents dust as pixels, where minimalism becomes maximalism deep in the desert. Winds blow against form to celebrate a thriving cultural island. A community’s heart beats as ants spill out onto the sidewalks, each working together to contribute to something larger than themselves.
DDUST brings an on-chain dust storm to the Ethereum network, blowing across the collection using Ethereum’s block activity. The storm spans multiple artworks at a time, it’s size and speed orchestrated on-chain by the artist. DDUST debuts new on-chain interoperability features available with Art Blocks’ PostParams.
Each palette in the collection is derived from a memory of West Texas. Using PostParams, collectors can permanently modify their work’s color palette fully on-chain.
DDUST is a collage of the artist's experiences in Marfa and West Texas during the inaugural Art Blocks x Opensea artist residency.
Art Blocks × OpenSea Artist Residency Program
This release was supported by the Art Blocks × OpenSea Artist Residency program, which provides generative artists with individual residencies in Marfa, Texas to develop new work while surrounded by the inspiring Marfa environment and community.
ABOUT LIVING ART WITH POSTPARAMS
Artworks in this collection can grow and change over time through artist-defined interactions. This might include allowing the artist or collectors to customize certain elements, responding to blockchain activity, or both—creating unique relationships that evolve with each piece.
