Iconic and the Museum of Art + Light’s fourth collaboration features the iconic artistry of renowned generative artist Tyler Hobbs. This exclusive series of three auctions offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire either a single QQL or a curated set of three QQLs, each accompanied by matching artist-stamped prints by Tyler Hobbs.

The release features two outputs created and minted by Hobbs, with the third being minted and hand-selected by Hobbs from the QQL community of parametric artists.

”At this point, tens of millions of outputs from the QQL algorithm have been generated, but only a few hundred have become official QQLs. This means that only the very best moments of the algorithm make it in.”
– Tyler Hobbs

This trio represents a curated corner of the QQL algorithm. QQL is a highly communal work, where a distributed network of artistic individuals work together to curate and construct the final body of work. For this reason, Hobbs solicited community contributions to the trio, including suggestions for the curation of the trio. Two of the three works were generated by Hobbs, while the third was generated by one of the most prolific QQL Parametric Artists, Anders Carlson, who also proposed this particular combination of works for the trio. While the final curatorial decision was made by Hobbs, this collaboration reflects the unique communal quality of QQL. Given the distributed and social nature of the internet, Hobbs believes that digital artworks that harness these types of connections will only become more common in the future.

Hobbs refers to this set of three works as a “trio” rather than a “triptych”. Although they are intentionally designed to sit well together, they may also exist comfortably on their own and are not required to be displayed together.

Iconic, in collaboration with AOTM, is proud to offer art collectors an exclusive opportunity to acquire either a single QQL or a curated set of three QQLs by Tyler Hobbs through a series of three auctions. Auction winners will also receive a matching framed 30” x 37” artist-stamped, museum-quality print, and an accompanying certificate of authenticity:

QQL #309: Created & Minted by Tyler Hobbs. Digital token & a framed 30″ x 37″ artist-stamped print.

QQL #308: Created & Minted by Tyler Hobbs. Digital token & a framed 30″ x 37″ artist-stamped print.

QQL #307: Created by Anders Carlson. Curated & Minted by Tyler Hobbs. Digital token & a framed 30″ x 37″ artist-stamped print.

Iconic and the Museum of Art + Light’s third collaboration will highlight the remarkable talent of Erick “Snowfro” Calderon. This release offers collectors the opportunity to participate in three separate auctions, each featuring an iconic Chromie Squiggle.

The winner of each auction will receive a 24” x 24” hand-signed artistic reproduction of their Chromie Squiggle by Matr Labs, a certificate of authenticity, and the matching NFT.

With its meticulous attention to detail, the print not only captures the vibrant essence of the Chromie Squiggle but also adds a tangible, collectible piece to the bidder’s art collection. These unique prints are a testament to the intersection of digital and physical art, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a completely unique piece that bridges both worlds.

”Simple and easily identifiable, each Squiggle embodies the soul of the Art Blocks platform. Consider each my personal signature as an artist, developer, and tinkerer.”
– Erick “Snowfro” Calderon

Iconic has collaborated with AOTM to present art collectors with an exclusive opportunity for both seasoned collectors and new admirers of Calderon’s iconic artistry. Utilizing a traditional American auction format, this release features a single Chromie Squiggle in the “slinky” style and two Chromie Squiggles in the “normal” style, each distinguished by different starting and ending colors.

Chromie Squiggle #9752: Digital token & a hand-signed 24″ x 24″ reproduction by Matr Labs.

Chromie Squiggle #9753: Digital token & a hand-signed 24″ x 24″ reproduction by Matr Labs.

Chromie Squiggle #9756: Digital token & a hand-signed 24″ x 24″ reproduction by Matr Labs.

Offered as an auction lot of 3, this selection of artworks represents three distinct approaches through which Xie has explored collage: a piece combining mixed digital media, an edition from a code-based series reinterpreting early 20th-century modernist collage, and a physical proof featuring hand-finished gold leaf overlays, produced by Avant Arte.

Collage and materiality have been central themes in Xie’s works. This unique collection presents the artist’s diverse and engaging ways of interacting with these concepts.

This auction offers collectors the chance to acquire three pieces curated by Emily Xie. The winner will receive two works in both digital and physical formats, with the third work offered exclusively in a physical format. Featuring a brand-new, one-of-one piece created specifically for this event, alongside two other chosen works, the winner will get three hand-signed prints of each work and the digital versions of “Off Script #53” and “Aphelion Skies”.

This curated set enhances the collector’s experience, showcasing the art’s versatility and Emily’s craftsmanship. Iconic, in collaboration with AOTM, presents this unique release, providing bidders the exclusive chance to own three works by Emily in a single auction:

Aphelion Skies 1:1 / digital NFT & a hand-signed 15″ x 25″ museum-quality print.

Off Script #53 / digital NFT & a hand-signed 18″ x 24″ museum-quality print.

Floral Pattern with Gold Foil / hand-signed 12″ x 21.5″ museum-quality print.

”The visuals I create are suggestively figurative, and I encourage viewers to draw upon their imaginations to complete the latent narratives embedded within each piece.”
