N E O C O D E X An infinite, on-chain, generative codex that tells the ongoing story of transformation in the Yucatán Peninsula. This dynamic 1/1 is now available on @AOTM as part of the Maya Spirits fundraiser for a remote community living in Calakmul, Mexico. Every minute, NEOCODEX flips to a new, unique page for anyone following along. The page you see at any particular moment is the same page anyone else around the world is seeing — we’re all reading from the same synchronized story. Tons of more details on my website! https://www.fahadkarim.com/projects/neocodex

Super excited about my latest 1/1, a time-dynamic generative artwork inspired by ancient Mayan codices. An infinite story that unfolds over time, page by page. DM me if you would like an early preview :)

GM! Did you know that the initial age distribution of the daily-evolving creatures in the Pohualli population was programmed to mirror the demographics of Mexico? I'm always looking for opportunities to incorporate non-random data into my generative systems, anchoring the artwork more deeply with the topics being explored. More info on my website: https://www.fahadkarim.com/projects/pohualli

Since safaris are trending right now, here's an original ink drawing of mine from 2017. Inspired by the same trip to Tanzania that @botto and I went on a decade ago 😉

La laguna de los 7 colores & the town of Balacar, in symbiosis. In my next 1/1, I'm exploring the tensions of transformation in these magical destinations in Mexico.

I'm obsessed with making art that is only possible with a medium as dynamic as code. Pohualli #89 when first minted vs. how it looks today 100% generated by code growing and evolving every day cycling through infinite cycles of life and death

piñata3 #82, freshly minted by skydao.eth on @artblocks studio Notice the dotted rectangles in the artwork? They're the overlay system that chooses between the original ink (black) and algorithmically applied colors. I loved the look of explicitly highlighting these masks in the artwork! (Originally I wasn't going to make them so obvious.)
