The Alpha: <\/h2>\n\n- Contemporary art institution Pace Gallery<\/a> will present a physical exhibition featuring new work from generative artist Tyler Hobbs<\/a> at its New York gallery from March 30 to April 22. This marks Pace\u2019s first exhibition dedicated to a single artist\u2019s Web3 project. <\/li>\n
- Titled QQL: Analogs<\/em>, the exhibition will feature 12 large-scale works from Hobbs\u2019 experiments with a new algorithm called QQL, which he developed alongside fellow generative artist Dandelion Wist<\/a>. <\/li>\n
- The pieces \u2014 shared exclusively with nft now \u2014 were created using a subtractive process with a custom plotter and painted by hand. Speaking to nft now, Hobbs notes that these works reflect the influence of figures such as Sol LeWitt and Agnes Martin, whose contributions to conceptualism and minimalism helped steer the rise of generative art in the mid-20th century. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Tyler Hobbs\u2019 June 2021 NFT drop, Fidenza, is considered a landmark generative art project due to the complexity of the code behind the work. Ultimately, Fidenza has become one of Art Blocks<\/a>\u2018 most successful and well-known releases to date and one of the most sought-after generative NFT projects in the Web3 community. With a current floor price of just shy of 80 ETH, the project has seen more than 55,146 ETH in trading volume on the secondary market.<\/p>\nTo this end, Hobbs is well-known for his innovative work in computation aesthetics, utilizing a combination of algorithms, paint, and mechanical plotters in his work. The pieces in QLL: Analogs<\/em> follow in these footsteps. <\/p>\nThe 12 large-scale works in the series are the result of the artist combining traditional painting techniques with robotic tools. After feeding code through a customized mechanical plotter, Hobbs then refined the paintings\u2019 details by hand, resulting in physical manifestations of Hobbs\u2019 own QQL outputs. Overall, QQL: Analogs<\/em> is meant to be a collaborative project between creator and collector that reflects the often chaotic and unpredictable world of Web3. <\/p>\n\n\nQQL: Analog #8.
