I invite you into the garden of many running sculptures – an open ground for all to visit. This is an encouragement to move forward, to go beyond the white cube VR-replica spaces and ignore the stratifying forces that seek to mummify New Art. Dare things. Disregard the pleas for commodification. Reconsider this durable, distributed, computational substrate as a canvas for aesthetic, poetic, philosophical, and practical explorations. Open to surprise. Open to delight. Purposefully non-standard. I welcome you to the World Computer Sculpture Garden.


The contract show "World Computer Sculpture Garden" is opening Nov 12, 2024 on Ethereum Mainnet. It is a show as contract as well as a show of contracts. The show's title "World Computer Sculpture Garden" – a term coined by 113 – is a metaphorical reference to Ethereum itself as an unstoppable site for Art. Beyond notions of a global, durable, and programmable consensus layer Ethereum here is understood as a sculpture garden of long-running computer programs as sculptures that may run well beyond our lifetime. As such, this show has no closing date.


The website you are viewing was generated from the show contract itself at block 21383158. Over time, as people engage with the artworks and artists activate their pieces, the information rendered here will change, block by block, year by year

Echoes is a relational poetry-making smart contract with a limited dictionary. It generates an endless collaborative poem by allowing only predefined words chosen by the artist. Each contract has its own unique, limited dictionary and invites anyone to contribute words through transactions.

Dear God, Layer of Roads (Travelers)

This contract is a machine that lays time. It seeks to expand the boundaries of the machine on which it operates. As time unravels, travelers may use it to journey toward both the future and the past. Once on this road, their presence simultaneously generates and marks the landscape. New land is discovered with every block of time, and with each passing day, fragments of these travelers are left behind for others to bear witness. Once they stop, a monument is generated and left behind. At the moment there are 40 travelers on the road.

Modulation Studies is a system in which an artist creates daily generative musical studies by editing the configuration of a text-controlled synthesizer. In addition to the musical edits, the artist writes a short text accompanying each study. The complete, character by character edit history of changes is recorded as they are typed in. Each session is recorded and verified by a zero knowledge rollup style artchain built for the piece. Visitors to the accompanying website can listen to the generated music and replay the editing history of each session to watch as the artist composes, struggles, makes mistakes and writes the messages for each entry. This protocol enables a new form of durational performance artwork, where performance and documentation are unified into a single act within a cryptographically verifiable system and each day's changes accumulate into a provable record of human artistic labor.

Two points on a map. The beginning of a virtual plane and the end, both connected by a straight line. Suddenly structures appear - drawn by entities with addresses. The line finds its way through the emerging labyrinth of walls, it adapts, through their curves and dead ends. At some point the whole structure solidifies, becomes immutable and invisible, unknowable. Only the line remains visible, while the actual origin from which the path was calculated is buried in a zero-knowledge proof, indecipherable to anyone who didn't take part in its creation. The physical materiality of the mathematical cryptographic proof constitutes an unknowable underlying structure. This plane is connected to another plane that starts from the same point of origin, which is connected to another, and so on - forming a possible infinite line whose underlying exact conditions of production can never be revealed. The appearance of the line is an artefact and remains a surface phenomenon of a cryptographic but provable underlying production.
