9dcc ITERATION-02
A collaboration with 9dcc that turned newly generated artwork into individual shirts, printed at the mint event.
Image and live view served by the official Art Blocks media and generator services.
From a mint to a shirt
We brought the project to Miami Art Basel in 2022. People could mint a new artwork and have it printed onto their shirt at the event. We also offered an online mint through Art Blocks Engine.
I worked the Squiggle's color and motion into 9dcc's visual identity. Each shirt carries its own generated artwork, with an NFC chip linking the garment to its digital record. The printing and the mint were part of the same experience.
We minted the artworks at the event and printed the shirts on site.
At the event
The minting station, the people making it happen, and the details of the finished shirts.
The interface we used at the event, with the printers just behind it.
A closer look at the woven label.
Two artworks, the same type
Both of these are Ribbed, with a black logo. The same rules still make a different drawing for each shirt.
