Autoglyphs is an experimental generative art project where each one is unique and created by code running on the Ethereum blockchain. Anyone willing to pay a creation fee of 0.20 ETH (approximately $363) which will be donated to our chosen charity, 350.org, can generate a glyph. The creator of the glyph also becomes its first owner. However, after 512 glyphs have been generated, the generator will permanently shut down and these glyphs will only be available on secondary markets.
Now that weve deployed the project on Ethereum, its important to note that we no longer control the code that generates the art or the code that manages ownership of the glyphs. This is vastly different from artworks edited and sold by artists or galleries. It allows for long-term assurances of ownership, provenance, and edition size independent of any central authority.
