Artist Statement from Nima: My practice has long centered on works developed in series, discrete yet interconnected pieces that together articulate sequential and infinite progressions of color and pattern. The Peekskill Pixel Project is a 72" × 27" composition comprising 216 miniature 3" × 3" canvas panels, each rendered in 12 ink colors. The work encompasses 24 distinct sequential variations, produced in an edition of 9 per variation. An accompanying animation "reads" the composition one pixel at a time, traversing the piece first horizontally and then vertically in a continuous snaking motion. Individual pixel panels are available as separate works, making the complete composition, in its full, unified form, exclusively viewable at SequenceFest.

Announcing Sequence Fest - an upcoming group exhibition exploring works of plotter art in motion. The idea of making frame-by-frame animations with my plotter has been an ongoing obsession bc of the imperfection, quirks, and texture imbued in the result.

Thank you Kylie! I'll piggy-back off your post to announce the "AI Arts Initiative" as a continuation of my early work with AI self-portraits. I'll be using fees from the Sol coin to supply 3 AI/Human artists with either a pen plotter or the new WaterColorBot from @bantamtools. They recently created the WaterColorBot, which lets you create watercolors with AI. I think that's SO cool - I wish I had time to explore it with Claude (or your AI of choice!), but my focus is elsewhere these days. So instead, I'm funding others to explore it. If you're an AI artist interested in this program, DM me. Requirements: Actually building/creating/collaborating with AI (not just prompting) Will document the process publicly Committed to exploring what's possible Let's see what you make!! 🍅🎨
