Landlines Art is a generative artist working primarily on Tezos, known for expanding a consistent line-based visual language across many fx(hash) collections built in JavaScript and, for 3D work, Python and Blender.,He also has a long background in generative music, and describes his practice as an iterative process often set off by accidental coding mistakes.
He began releasing generative work on Tezos in April 2021,and by that October had released Art Cardz, a project that let collectors curate their own combinations of shape, color and algorithm cards to generate an artwork.,His collection Achromat was fx(hash)'s 61st project, making him one of the platform's earlier artists. He studied music composition as an undergraduate before pursuing a science degree for stability, and has since pursued graduate studies in artificial intelligence and computer science alongside his art. He keeps a low public profile, communicating mainly through his art and social media rather than interviews.
His 2022 fx(hash) collection Sedimentary Dissolution takes its name from the geological process by which weathered stone becomes the raw material for new rock,and comprises 512 pieces built from a recursive, grid-like structure that a shader then distorts, slashes and erodes.,Rather than fixing a single output per mint, Landlines Art gives each collector twenty customizable versions to explore, each further adjustable with on/off toggles for effects like erosion and RGB dissolution. In his words, “allowing the outputs to be customizable was my way of inviting the collectors into the curatorial process that is always ongoing when creating generative art”. In 2022, Sedimentary Dissolution had the largest market cap of his eleven fx(hash) releases to that point.
His collection Distrukt pairs generative 3D work made in Blender with a burning mechanic: burning the piece's mint pass seeds an on-chain algorithm that regenerates the artwork from the burn transaction's hash.His collection Laminated was released on fx(hash) and shown as part of the “Proof of People” exhibition in New York City.
