3D Printed Generativemasks
March 24th, 2023
We deliver the highest quality Physical Art by complete custom production. The thing is that even if the 3D Printed Generativemasks are made from the exact same 3D model and color scheme data, every individual piece has its own NFC chip embedded in it creating a different serial number. By scanning the NFC chip with your mobile phone, you can see detailed information about the physical masks including the wallet address.
AMA with @takawo | 20/5/2022

Welcome to our first AMA. We thought that as we launched our new roadmap and are doing the project reboot, AMA would be a great chance for everyone, especially for all the English speakers to get to know more about our artist takawo.

First, we would like to tell you again that we launched our new Roadmap 2.0 last month and the project reboot is now going on. If you haven't checked them out, please do so for more details with the link down below. We’re giving back to the community with a strong commitment and at the same time, we really hope that we’ll see more and more people getting interested in generative art and enjoying the space. That’s one of the core feelings that we have for the project.
Generativemasks Roadmap 2.0
April 26th, 2022
Generativemasks launched back in August of 2021. A collection stemming from Shunsuke Takawo’s daily coding sessions, a portfolio of work built up over years of daily experimentation with generative art since 2015, Generativemasks has marked its place in NFT history in 2021. Since then, we’ve been blessed with a core group of gen art enthusiasts, and are looking to become more communal moving forward.

First of all, we're truly glad to have had the 2nd derivative art contest following on from our first one. The previous contest was called "GMsArt2021", so we took over that name and called it "GMsArt2021Nov" this time. Starting from November 1st to November 24th, we had about a month to select up to 15 finalists and their derivatives by the Generativemasks team, and 5 winners were chosen by community voting with the whole Generativemasks community joining.
