For a Limited Time

Siebren Versteeg

Siebren Versteeg and Arsnl Art present the NFT experience of a lifetime.

Versteeg’s algorithms generate painterly collages that transform images of current events into works that are erotic, prophetic, sometimes terrifying, often humorous and always revelatory.

A year long social experiment, a new work is created every 10 to 15 minutes using trending stories scraped from the internet as source material. Each work will only exist "for a limited time" before being replaced by the next.

If a collector can’t bear to see the moment go, they can claim the work, cementing the art and their personal connection with time onto the blockchain. About 35,000 artworks will be generated, of which only 750 can be "saved" or "curated" by collectors at their choosing over the course of the year.

“What makes this project special to me is that Versteeg’s algorithm creates unexpected and often humorous combinations of imagery that subvert our expectations.”

Siebren Versteeg (1971) is a pioneer of algorithmic generative art.

Heralded by Vulture as “chaotic but illuminating”, the magazine declared Versteeg the idol of “every Harry Potter-loving / Hackers-watching / anti-capitalist computer geek.” His critically acclaimed works mine our digital consciousness to create something new and unsettling in the form of paintings and sculptures. His works have been included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, among many others. Versteeg is represented by bitforms gallery.
