A contract show curated by 0xfff

With an introductory essay by maltefr
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 21352785. 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
