Ousia is a collection of 10,000 fully on-chain generative artworks on Ethereum, each rooted in the palette and pixel count of its corresponding CryptoPunk.

Ousia begins with a simple question: what is left when the familiar figure is stripped away?

Each Punk has a fixed palette and a precise count of colored pixels. For Ousia, this becomes the ground of the work. Color sets its vocabulary. Pixel count shapes its density. Geometry gives it a body: circles, spheres, motion, and light.

Each Ousia is connected to a specific Punk through its source data and exists as its own generative composition.

Ousia begins from public on-chain data and returns to the chain as a complete artwork.

The metadata, SVG preview, live HTML artwork, rendering code, and source-derived data are returned from the contract.

The website is an interface. Marketplaces are interfaces. The artwork itself does not depend on either.

The work is made to survive the platforms that display it.
