You just collected this commemorative POAP NFT as proof of attending our Onchain Art Day in Berlin on the 24th of May 2024. You met the KodaDot team during the event. We were showcasing a generative art exhibition. This event is made possible thanks to our sponsors and supporters: KodaDot, Vara Network, Osborne Clarke, Muse Frame. Organized by Glazescape, Office Impart, Modern Meta.
DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is a dictum of the crypto scene. The principle is that one should do one's own investigation rather than believing all that is read. The exhibition reveals to visitors what is, for many, a new world: art in the context of blockchain and NFTs. Curated by Nina Roehrs, DYOR focusses on artists, projects and platforms that have had a significant influence on how the crypto art scene has developed and is today. This DYOR – POAP can be collected when visiting the exhibition in Zürich. Created by Andreas Gysin (aka ertdfgcvb)
In collaboration with the estate, EXPANDED.ART is pleased to present the solo show CODED BEAUTY by Herbert W Franke. The show is comprised of eight works of Franke’s series MATH ART created between 1980 and 1995, early generative photographs from the 1950s, his Biennale serigraphy including QUADRATE (1969/70) and further serigraphies. Herbert W. Franke held the belief that the beauty of structures shown in visual arts is founded on mathematical codes throughout his entire career. He spent a lifetime in search of them. In the 1950s, he started generating art based on mathematical principles, which led to his first pieces, LICHTFORMEN and OSZILLOGRAMME, and finally used computer programs from the 1960s on. He began working on the enormous body of work MATH ART in 1980 with the programmer Horst Helbig. Over the course of 15 years, he methodically analyzed the mathematical conceptual worlds, from algebra to stochastics, for the aesthetic component. Even to the spectator who is unfamiliar with mathematics, the opulent visualizations reveal quite varied aesthetic frameworks.
