The Work
Deafbeef is a dynamic and fascinating artist, having worked in music production, electrical engineering, software development, blacksmithing and more. These varied experiences perfectly blend in his unique form of generative art. His first series on the Blockchain was Synth Poems, followed by Angular and Transmission. In more recent series, Entropy, Glitchbox and Advection he continues to develop his stripped back, technological aesthetics, while embracing the possibilities of the blockchain to create evolving pieces. Deafbeef’s works have been featured in prominent exhibitions and have been collected by FingerprintsDAO, FlamingoDAO and more.
