Overview

Edifice is a series of 976 algorithmic artworks created by Ben Kovach, a contemporary digital artist. It is an exploration of buildings being conceptualized, constructed, and eroded away under a wide variety of conditions. Each image is progressively constructed in front of the viewer's eyes. ^[2]

Each piece of the Edifice collection has 16 features, among which there are Cell Size, Texture, Dimensions, Symmetry, and others. ^[2] The code used to generate the artwork is stored on the Ethereum blockchain. This code was seeded with a random hash when buyers minted an item in the collection through Art Blocks Curated , making outputs unknown until mint time.Prior to the release, Kovach tested the algorithm on the Ropsten testnet. ^[3]
