Crypt-o-show is a parody art gallery generator, inspired by a very disappointing and comical NFT show produced by Christies. The infamous show displayed Artblock works on unsuitable screens, installed closely together, over a large squiggle on the wall. The generator creates a little gallery with a random selection of artworks that parody AB pieces – these are used as features in this work – forming a mini collection of collectibles.

Crypt-o-show is a form of ‘institutional critique’ through generative art, and about generative art, poking fun at the both the market for on-chain generative artwork collections made addictive through their lottery mechanics, as well as mocking the traditional auction house and its blundering and inelegant support for these new digital practices.

"The saddest thing you'll see today is, once again, brought to you by Christie's."
