Planting Seeds
SEED 1:
This is an exclusive series of NFTs created from a restored version of an important early work of net art. Proceeds from this NFT will support Rhizome, a non-profit organization that has championed the cause of digital art since 1996. Mint it now, and this artwork will take root in your wallet and identify you to the world as a Rhizome supporter—and may provide priority access to additional generative artwork collections.
TRLab fuses technology with fine art expertise to pioneer the future of art collecting. In Latin, a ‘tabula rasa’ — the TR in our name — is a blank slate, a raw canvas for creating something new, without assumptions.
Rhizome champions born-digital art and culture through commissions, exhibitions, scholarship, and digital preservation. Founded by artist Mark Tribe as an email discussion list including some of the first artists to work online, Rhizome has played an integral role in the history of contemporary art engaged with digital technologies and the internet.
