Selected Works
From the Collection
The first agentic on-chain art rock collection in blockchain history.
Agentic Rock anticipates a collector base that is no longer exclusively human. The contract accepts any caller capable of signing a transaction. The skill.md specification, published alongside the work, provides autonomous agents with complete instructions for participation. No intermediary. No human operator required. The work meets its nonhuman audience on equal terms.

On inheritance, appropriation, and the image that persists.
The rock is not mine. It belongs to everyone and no one, a shape traced and retraced across the history of vernacular imagery until its origin dissolved. What entered the blockchain in 2017 as EtherRock was already a copy of a copy, clip art quoting nothing, owning nothing, meaning nothing until speculation gave it meaning. I have taken this form and given it something else: lineage.
Each rock bears a palette extracted from the Western canon. Rothko's veiled expanses. Klein's totalizing blue. Vermeer's measured northern light. The chromatic choices are citations, not inventions. This is the essential gesture of appropriation as Sherrie Levine understood it, as Prince enacted it, as Koons defended it in court: the recontextualization that produces new meaning without new form. The rock persists. Only its referent shifts.
The palettes span five centuries of pictorial tradition. From Giotto's fresco grounds to Joan Mitchell's gestural fields, from Caravaggio's tenebrism to Albers's nested squares. Each theme names its source directly: Rothko Ember Field, Yves Klein IKB Void, Vermeer Delft Calm. The citation is explicit. There is no pretense of originality in the chromatic selection, only in the act of selection itself, in the decision to graft painting's authority onto the most debased of forms.
One hundred palettes. Ten editions each. One thousand objects, each facet holding a fragment of painting's accumulated authority. The silhouette remains constant; the variation is purely chromatic. This is seriality as Warhol practiced it, system as LeWitt prescribed it. The constraint is the work.
The collection stages a second intervention, one that may prove more consequential than the chromatic citations themselves: the dissolution of the boundary between human and nonhuman participation. The mint function accepts any caller. No allowlist. No privileged access. No verification of sentience or legal personhood. Human collectors and autonomous agents execute the same transaction, receive the same stochastic assignment. The contract is indifferent to the nature of its interlocutor.
This is not a peripheral feature but the work's central proposition. For the first time, a body of art addresses itself equally to both categories of collector. The skill.md file published alongside the contract provides complete instructions for any agent capable of reading and transacting. The work anticipates a future in which such agents are not edge cases but primary participants in cultural markets. It positions itself at the threshold of that transition.
I have inscribed my signature in the rendering code, a small mark at the base of each faceted form. Not assertion but record: a notation that at this moment, in this configuration, one system cited another. The rock carries forward what came before. It will carry forward what comes after. I am merely the present tense of its circulation.

No external dependencies. No IPFS. No servers. Each token's image is generated by immutable code stored on Ethereum. The artwork can be reconstructed by anyone with access to a node, in perpetuity.
Call tokenURI on any minted token via Etherscan's Read Contract interface. The response returns Base64-encoded JSON containing the complete SVG.
The data URI yields structured metadata: name, attributes, and embedded image. The image itself is a second Base64 string resolving to vector artwork.
The rendering logic is fixed at deployment. No upgrade path. No administrative keys. The work cannot be altered, censored, or removed. Persistence is guaranteed by the network itself.
