SOURCE [On NFTs] is the first on-chain generative art collection presented by Christie’s 3.0. The auction coincides with the launch of On NFTs, the first major full-scale art historical study on the digital medium published by TASCHEN and edited by the artist.

The auction will open with a starting price of 5 ETH. The price will decrease in increments over 2 hours until all works are either sold out, or the price lands at its resting price of 0.3 ETH.

EXCLUSIVE: Works minted in the auction at 1.5 ETH or above will include The Hard Code Edition of the On NFTs book, hand-signed by the artist. The first 10 mints will secure Edition Numbers 1 through 10, the rarest of copies.

What is generative art?

Generative art is made through a combination of predetermined rules and chance. An artist sets certain parameters which allow for the autonomous creation of artworks. Although generative methods have been employed for decades by artists stretching back to the Dadaists, in recent years the movement has blossomed within the digital art space. Creators use coded algorithms to create unique editions of artworks that are revealed only when they are generated, or ‘minted’, on the blockchain.

Generative art are typically collections that are released as a series of a chosen quantity where each individual artwork in the collection is unique.

What is a Dutch auction and how does it work?

In a Dutch auction, an item is offered at a set maximum price. The price is then incrementally lowered until a bid is made or the offered price reaches the resting price, which is the minimum price the work can be purchased at. Whoever places the first bid wins the auction, provided the bid is above the auction’s resting price.

The SOURCE [On NFTs] auction will open with a starting price of 5 ETH. The price will decrease in increments over 2 hours until all 400 works are either sold out, or the price lands at its resting price of 0.3 ETH.
