Meltdown is a series of sixteen fully on-chain generative artworks. Each piece displays its own source code, where it continuously transforms, melts, and animates it over time. The source code in Meltdown is its implementation but also its form. In the latest iteration, a custom syntax highlighter was added: the program highlights itself, too. The project was first written in 2023, and is one of the last programs that I wrote entirely by hand. An updated version was presented in Shibuya Tokyo, Japan following an invitation from Noriaki Nakata (NEORT). The current and final version was completed in 2026 exhibited with Nguyen Wahed for Art Basel in Basel, Switzerland.
