FAQs
Art Blocks is a platform for artists to publish unique editions of generative art. Chosen through a highly selective application process, and mentored in development, artists upload their creative code on Art Blocks. When a collector purchases a work, they trigger the creation of a never-before-seen iteration of the artist’s project in the form of an NFT artwork.
A non-fungible token (or NFT) is a unique digital asset that includes a record of ownership. For on-chain generative projects like those at Art Blocks, the NFT is both integral to the artwork itself and the proof of its ownership.
Generative art is an art form in which an artist develops a system for the creation of individual works. With historical roots in conceptual art, today generative art typically entails the creation of an algorithm using computer code. Randomness is introduced into the artist’s algorithm, and the system outputs a unique artwork.
