About
As far as we know, time only moves forward. Yet we experience a lot of cycles, where we end up somehow back at the starting position again. Birth, growth, reproduction, decay, death. Repeat. Slices is one of those cycles, a generative process of growth with snapshots taken along the way, slices of time, moments to remember. Slices is presented in three formats, all unique and procedurally generated by a master algorithm. The first option is unique slices of an instance of the growth process. Then there are complete cycles of the evolution and finally physical scrolls of the whole experience. All pieces are limited editions, available as NFTs. Physical scrolls include an NFT of the complete cycle.

This is a rare opportunity to learn how the beautiful work is created by changing and adding to the code of "Slices" in real time.

Artist
Alexis André
Artist, Designer and Researcher
Alexis André is an artist, researcher and designer aiming at redefining entertainment. In this golden age of computation and data overflow, why is our entertainment still designed to be consumed in a passive way? A few media are offering interactive experiences, but none of them are designed specifically for you. Alexis is working towards a future where you could enjoy unique experiences that were tailored to your preferences, where the power of generative systems is leveraged to offer individually custom-created pieces. As a first implementation of this concept, he created the robot toy platform “toio” that gathered various design awards (iF Design, reddot, Good Design…). His generative art pieces have been showcased all around the world (Tokyo, Art Basel Miami, COP26 in Glasgow…) and in auction at Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
