In the AB[500]: Art Blocks
Art Blocks explains its platform model of artist-authored algorithms, seeded variation, minting, and on-chain preservation.
About Art Blocks ↗Art Blocks specifies browser, JavaScript, dependency, testing, and deterministic-randomness requirements for artists.
Artist FAQ ↗Press and criticism
OpenSea’s Art Blocks primer explains the relationship among an artist’s algorithm, a token hash, deterministic rendering, and minting.

Escher in The Palace examines how Escher combined multiple perspectives to produce an apparently logical but impossible image.
Up and Down ↗Escher in The Palace analyzes Belvedere as a combination of individually convincing perspectives that cannot coexist spatially.
Belvedere ↗Escher in The Palace discusses the relationship between Roger Penrose, geometric puzzles, and Escher’s final tessellation.
The Roger Penrose puzzle ↗Somerset House presents a retrospective organized around landscapes, tessellations, metamorphoses, impossible constructions, and visual paradoxes.
