Every Icon is an on-chain expression of the landmark generative artwork by John F. Simon Jr, first released in 1997. It consists of a 32x32 square grid where each unit can be colored either black or white.
Thanks to everyone! Despite a challenging market I am thrilled with the support shown for ComplexCity - only a few copies remain to be claimed - and maybe one more noir? It has been a blast to work with everyone at @artw__rld - a fantastic experience.
An ode to New York, John F. Simon Jr.’s ComplexCity is often described as one of his most autobiographical works.
Abstracted elevators, frenetic intersections, autonomous flocks of birds, a city skyline in constant flux…
