Microchip Shortage

I tried to render animations and images of the 3000 microchips above, however my computer crashed whenever this was attempted. This itself shows the curtailment and limitations to my own art due to technology. Malevich’s Black square is a finite, defined space in which there is a symbolic space. This echoes here; computers, microchips etc are defined, tangible objects, however they still have natural limitations.

NFTs

I used the same technique for making these NFT crystals as I did for making my original crystal but this time using different shapes.

Resulting renders…

I tried to get these images on OpenSea (the largest NFT marketplace in the world), however, at the time I was too young to open an account. This didn’t detract from my purpose for doing this. I followed the same path as other NFT artists: trying to create a “collection” of similar objects, each with a different value depending on which “tier” or “classification they were in”.
