<aside> 🟠 despace berlin (Tezos), Bright Moments, and fxhash are excited to announce a partnership program that will showcase the intersection of art and technology from the 9th of March to the 4th of April – Berlin GenArt Month. The program will feature two gen art exhibitions, one performance, and a series of talks and workshops aimed at exploring generative art in the Tezos ecosystem.
This partnership will offer an exciting exploration of the connection between art and technology in the Tezos systems. We invite you to join us at our venues from the 9th of March to the 4th of April to experience a new canon of abstraction in the medium of generative art and to dive into the Tezos ecosystem.
The first exhibition, Representing Abstraction, will be on view from 9th to 15th March and will feature works from artists Anna Lucia, Ella, Florian Zumbrunn, Lars Wander, Nat Sarkissian, Sarah Ridgley and William Mapan. The exhibition brings together a series of fxhash projects that explore the aesthetic of painterly abstraction in the medium of generative art.

The second exhibition, Klangteppich by Andreas Rau, will take place from the 17th of March to the 4th of April. Klangteppich is a multi-sensory experience that invites the viewer to touch, see and listen, as 100 works will be minted IRL, accompanied by live-generated visuals and music. This will be the second collaboration between fxhash and Bright Moments to utilize fxhash live minting technology.

Octet: a two-day performance of eight vintage plotters by Marcel Schwittlick will take place on March 25th and 26th. During the installation, the plotter machines will produce unique sounds as they draw, resulting in a distinctive and enchanting auditory experience.

In addition to the exhibitions, the program also includes two panel discussions with experts from the art world and the Tezos ecosystem, and one creative coding workshop.
The discussions will delve into the themes explored in the exhibitions and provide insights into the intersection of art and technology and will take place on the 11th and 18th of March, both at the Bright Moments Gallery.
As a part of the program, the visitors will be able to attend a workshop on creative coding at despace, which will allow participants to learn about Tezos as a protocol and how it can be used to create generative art.

About:
Bright Moments is a DAO and international art gallery on a mission to create environments where artists and collectors can co-create and co-consume generative art. We do this through building IRL minting experiences where artists and collectors witness the birth of generative art together.
At fxhash we build tools that allow artists and collectors to live out their passion for generative art. We facilitate an easy and safe space for artists, collectors, curators and the curious to experience generative art projects; to buy, sell and collect art — and share their collections with the world.
despace berlin is a community that provides pathways for involvement in Web3 in the Berlin orbit, with a special focus on projects and opportunities in the Tezos ecosystem.

<aside> 🟢 This month, Berlin is becoming the capital of generative art, discover more gen-art-focused events and places:
The famous concept of the “Machine Imaginaire”, meaning the imaginary computer by Vera Molnar from the 1960s, provides access to her entire oeuvre, consisting of drawings, paintings, collages and later also many computer drawings or prints. Vera Molnar has already gone down in the history of digital art as an important pioneer. However, to reduce her merits to her use of the computer would not do justice to her work of over 70 years.
CODED BEAUTY 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.

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, also known as the "God particle", at CERN in Geneva on July 4, 2012, the existence of what is probably the final piece of the standard model of particle physics was confirmed — but what comes next? This question is also being asked by Hans-Jörg Mayer. The world is fucked, and sometimes painting is too — should we just keep on going as before? There is no answer, even less an explanation, and most definitely no solution.
