@Noahbolanowski In fact I am still buying vintage 280c laptops and keeping the original pieces running 27 years later.

John F. Simon Jr.: "Color Panel v1.0 was made in 1999. I took a used Apple 280C computer. Disassembled it. Took it all to pieces. Took the case off of it, and then I reassembled it so that the screen was on the front of the panel, and the body of the computer was on the back."
From the artist's audio recording for the Whitney Museum.

We don't talk enough about how dynamic digital artworks can run for decades, if not centuries. We can put things in motion that we will not see the end of.

I made an artwork you can claim for 1,320 years or $500,000 worth of compute. If you're lucky or patient, maybe a little less than that. Introducing "Redemption of Sisyphus," a fully on-chain, instruction-based AI artwork. Why and how? Dive in with me ⬇️

@CSA2D7 raises some points I have thought about for a long time. Searching latent space is the reality of image making Every Icon was reaching for 28 years ago and I am working there every day now finding amazing things.

In blockchain art, there is a strong conceptual connection between john f. simon jr.'s "every icon" and infinite images in latent space, that is waiting to be made / displayed? There's also a nice connection between every icon and pxl dex. Is "every icon" the most influential piece of blockchain art that is simultaneously recognized (in museums) and unrecognized by the market?
English
@dmitricherniak @CSA2D7 Although I couldn’t write it at the time, I imagined a program that would search this space more efficiently - search it in a way that would discover coherent icons in the vast noise rather than proceed by brute force counting. 25 years later I can do that in the latent space.
English
@dmitricherniak @CSA2D7 @dmitricherniak - first let me say how much I admire your work and how much I enjoy the Ringers. Second, I think the distinction you make is true for how Every Icon was implemented. The code I wrote is a binary counter. But for me this was just a demo of possibility space.

Thank you @CSA2D7 - I just found out a selection of these NFTs, including Every Icon, will be exhibited this spring at Pom Pom Pompidou in Lille, France- as part of the Lille3000 festival - fiestalille3000.com/exposition/pom…

Is there a better feeling for NFT collectors than recognition from the world’s best museums? From the Centre Pompidou’s Poetics of the Immaterial: Jill Magid, Jonas Lund, John F. Simon Jr., and John Gerrard

@Noahbolanowski Yes, @Noahbolanowski , the Guggenheim owns two of my works but the documentation on their website is not up to date. They own and exhibited Color Panel in "Seeing Double: Emulation in Theory and Practice,"
March 18–May 16, 2004, curated by Jon Ippolito

@Every_Icon Does Guggenheim own an edition? It was hard to determine - they don't make mention of it on the collection page but found enough secondary sources to make me think it is!
English
Thank you for the memories, @Noahbolanowski - putting together the Color Panel v1.0 edition cost around $12,000 in 1999 - about one year’s rent for me - and luckily Sandra Gering sold out the edition in two weeks. Buying 15+ laptops to rip apart was risky and fun #artappliance

The Most Institutionally Collected Digital Artwork: 'Color Panel v1.0' (1999) by John F. Simon, Jr. "..a painting that would change continually & never repeat itself..an experiment in dynamic painting.” Collected by SFMoMa, Whitney Museum, Guggenheim Museum, & Brooklyn Museum.
English
@Noahbolanowski There were no departments for digital works at museums in 1999 so the quick adoption surprised us. At the Whitney it was acquired by the Painting and Drawing committee, I think because of its references to color field painting.
English
@Every_Icon I was wondering that!!! Bet you never could have anticipated all of the most prestigious museums in the US would become its steward :)
