'Écluse' is part of the inaugural 'Outliers' group show curated by Atelier (ateliergen.art).

'Écluse' is a generative program that traces curves and inserts shape sequences (vertical lines and two types of colored solid shapes). It generates not only the digital output you see, but also gives instructions to the artist to reproduce the digital iteration using a plotter and a manual paintbrush.

By minting a token, the collector commissions the artist to create an exclusive plotted and hand painted physical edition of the artwork.

The edition is redeemable a single time on artfora.com (no requirement for the token to be burned, no shipping fee)
