Pkok curated art

Pkok Hypersub Airdrop #12 - Pentalogue

Anna Condo, Doopidoo, Joshua Davis, Matt Perkins & Paul Prudence

🧵

Born in Armenia and raised in France, Anna Condo @a1111ac011d0 has embraced multiple artistic paths, from early art studies to a dynamic career in New York as an actor and filmmaker, where she created acclaimed short films and features. Her transition to photography marked a new chapter, gaining recognition for her "floral portraits," a modern homage to the Impressionist and Dutch still-life traditions. Condo’s collaboration with a cryptopunk collective produced “Tulip 1637”, a tulip-themed NFT series, drawing parallels between today’s crypto frenzy and the speculative tulip mania of the 1600s. 

Her latest collection, “Time Travels” minted on Rodeo, offers an existential meditation on art’s role, encapsulating Condo’s view: “Art is nothing! Yet, everything! It questions the very meaning of existence—the void—the infinite.”

Doopiidoo, a Russian AI artist based in Serbia, brings over a decade of product design expertise to his digital art practice. Motivated by a profound curiosity about new technologies, he embraced artificial intelligence as his medium, primarily working with MidJourney and Runway. In 2023, Doopiidoo's works gained international attention, exhibiting in more than 10 prominent locations, from Paris to Seoul, Lisbon, Los Angeles, and New York. His exhibitions also included Munich’s and Rome’s Stroke Art Fair and his inclusion as a permanent artist on the Daily Fellowship platform.

Doopiidoo's work explores the power of memorable imagery, crafting characters that span time and realms—from ancient deities and ghosts to extraterrestrials and fashionable modern figures. Reflecting on his process, Doopiidoo describes the AI medium as absorbing the chaos of his thoughts and creating a spectrum of faces, each one mirroring aspects of his own aesthetics.

Joshua Davis, aka @praystation, is a designer, technologist, author, and artist celebrated for his pioneering work in algorithmic image-making and animation, acclaimed for his role in designing the visualization of IBM’s Watson. Known for his early website Praystation.com, Davis showcased his innovative designs and experiments and was among the first to release open-source Flash files. His work earned him the Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica for "Net Excellence" in 2001, and he has exhibited globally, including at London’s Tate Modern, Ars Electronica- Austria, Centre Pompidou- France, and New York’s PS1 MoMA.

Since 1995, Davis has built his career by using programming to create dynamic visual art, writing his own code to engage viewers and generate compositions through rule-based, randomized processes. His work was included in the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt's "National Design Triennial: Design Life Now," underscoring his significant impact on the intersection of art and technology.

From his early days as a multimedia developer in the 1990s, Matt Perkins @nudoru has a long history of creating digital art. His pursuit of generative art dates back to January 2021. Through the prism of generative art, his work examines classic painting and impressionist approaches. Drawing inspiration from nature, he combines his experience in fine art with the emerging medium of code.

Matt uses only browser-based JavaScript programming to produce his generative art. He is using no AI tools in the process; each algorithm was created by programming a JavaScript application that runs on desktop or mobile phone and can produce limitless variations.

Paul Prudence @paul-prudence, a UK-based generative artist, writer, and audiovisual creator, bridges sound and geometry through his work. Known for integrating art with natural and procedural elements, Paul’s pieces have graced intermedia arts festivals worldwide. His blog Dataisnature delved into the intersection of natural phenomena, computing, and art, informing his approach to generative work. 

ETH blockchain hosts iconic collections like Semiograph, Text.ile, and Waeveform, while Tezos showcases his innovative manipulation of digital aesthetics through Typewriter Drawings.
