Projects

OG Crystals by Michael Joo, Danil Krivoruchko [OG.Art]

A collection of 10,301 unique NFT collectibles launched on October 16, 2021, each individual OG:Crystal has transformed and grown with every purchase from a new collector. The facets and contours of each piece were generated algorithmically, according to each owner's crypto wallet history and transactions. After all the crystals were "locked" into their permanent form, the project entered its final and most ambitious road map stage. The 3D Crystals will evolve into the Crystal REEF — a massive physical sculpture that will be shown in highly respected museums and galleries worldwide. OG:CR is a collaboration between artists Michael Joo (ASomatica) and Danil Krivoruchko (Myshli) with the technical support of Snark.art.See More

Heterosis by Mat Collishaw, Danil Krivoruchko [OG.Art]

Heterosis is a unique flower hybridization experience, in which participants can cultivate their own bespoke, animated NFT flowers. This art project is composed of a collection of breedable, dynamic NFT flora that exist in the digital wallets of their respective owners, as well as collectively in an extraordinary metaverse ‘Greenhouse’ — a virtual, post-apocalyptic recreation of London’s National Gallery. All the NFT flowers in the collection can be seen growing in their current forms among the abandoned, overgrown remnants of this historic building. Based on innovative technology, the artwork invites collectors to participate in a venturous game and simultaneously question the fundamentals of the crypto space as a whole. Heterosis could not exist in any context other than blockchain, with its multiple participants bringing the artwork to fruition.See More

Life in Our Minds by Random International, Danil Krivoruchko [OG.Art]

Life in Our Minds is one of the most collaborative, technologically innovative NFT projects to date. It opens up an interplay between collective ownership and individual mark-making, re-staging art within a new (meta)-universe that has its own rules and, in so doing, represents a new form of public sculpture. This multi-dimensional artwork consists of two major parts: an NFT collection and an interactive generative virtual sculpture, entitled ‘The Mother Flock.’ Both the collection and The Mother Flock are made from the same basic matter — 3D origami objects called Boids. During the development of the project, all the elements — Boids, NFTs and The Mother Flock — will go through a complex evolutionary process that depends on the NFT collectors’ behaviors. The evolution mechanics of the project offer collectors the opportunity to actively participate in the creation of the artwork as it shapeshifts, incentivizing long-term retention of the NFT. By encouraging purchasers to retain their Life in Our Minds NFTs for extended periods, the artists and project partners aim to upend typical behaviors in the crypto market—including speculation and flipping—and, in the process, introduce a new generation of crypto collectors to the space.See More
