NODE premieres Kim Asendorf’s ‘PXL’ digital art exhibition

NODE Foundation has opened Kim Asendorf’s “PXL” exhibition in Palo Alto, presenting three digital artworks built around the pixel, the smallest unit of a digital image, and $PXL, a crypto token that connects collectors to the evolving pieces.

The exhibition includes three digital artworks that use computer programs to create images that change over time. People who collect $PXL tokens can add pixels that influence how the artworks evolve.

“PXL NET” is so large that it runs on specialized computers at NODE, allowing visitors to view the work at its full scale. Asendorf’s “PXL” is an ongoing digital art project that combines generative art, meaning art created by programmed rules, with blockchain technology that records ownership and participation.
