what's Subscapes?
Subscapes is a generative art NFT collection created by Matt DesLauriers and released on the Art Blocks platform in 2021. It consists of on-chain algorithmic artworks that explore abstract, evolving landscapes through code-generated visuals, emphasizing themes of emergence and complexity in digital art. Each piece is uniquely minted, with outputs varying based on parameters that create intricate patterns resembling natural or surreal terrains. The project leverages JavaScript and WebGL for rendering, allowing for dynamic and infinite variations within a constrained artistic framework. DesLauriers, a prominent figure in creative coding, designed Subscapes to highlight the potential of blockchain for preserving and distributing generative art, ensuring provenance and ownership through Ethereum smart contracts. It has been featured in high-profile auctions, underscoring its significance in the crypto art ecosystem.
