UNO
Discover how to claim UNO
Exclusively reserved for holders of [[Uno, nessuno e centomila]]
"Uno, nessuno e centomila" is a collection of 1,300 unique works generated by code, exploring the theme of identity and drawing inspiration from Pirandello’s famous novel in an abstract way.
UNO, as a singular identity, appears almost as the representation of an error, an unsuccessful attempt: the effort to define the Self and its impossibility to fully resolve within being. The works take on human features, yet they always present a split identity. There is a person, a point of focus, but the identity remains multiple, composed of many faces.
How to get UNO ⬇️
To obtain UNO, I created a system that works as follows:
I have opened an extended window for the collection until Sunday, March 22, the day the reveal will take place.
At that moment, a snapshot will be taken, and only holders who own at least 15 works from “Uno, nessuno e centomila” will be included in a CSV file. Each wallet holding 15 or more works will be able to mint the new collection for FREE, with one artwork per wallet.
Only these holders will have access, there will be no public sale.
This release is conceived as a conceptual extension of the project.
UNO is part of my exploration, of my desire to bring art to life through thought and code, to give soul and reflection to calculations and numbers. It is conceived according to the following structure: I recreated with AI around one hundred characters, each with different traits, men and women, young and old, with a wide variety of distinct details.
After creating this group of figures, I continued working through coding, removing the background and reducing the faces to their graphic essence. They are all treated with a ballpoint pen effect. As you can see, they feature the classic colors of pens: red, black, blue, and green.
These first examples are only a preview, created purely through code and using just a few reference images. In the overlapping process, the composition can contain no fewer than two faces and up to ten. In some cases, the faces may completely dissolve into an undefined mass, becoming abstraction once again.
After the snapshot takes place and the number of artworks is defined, I will upload the final supply. All pieces are unique works, carefully selected and conceived with a sense of exhibition within the overall vision of the project. Holders who are eligible for the free mint will always have their minting window open and guaranteed for them.
