/aligned by Tim Maxwell & Enrico Penzo

This is the next big generative art release from VIVID Gallery. It follows their last drop in June, which was the first one to break the 7-drop sellout streak they’d kept since launching.

With this in mind, it seems, they’re changing their sales structure in a big way.

/aligned, a collab between experienced NFT artists Tim Maxwell and Enrico Penzo, will be the inaugural release under the platform’s new Chefs d’Œuvre line, where artworks with multiple outputs from a single algorithm will be sold as 1/1s.

So /aligned will be a 1/1 with 542 different variations. Instead of selling 542 different outputs to hundreds of people like we’re used to with gen art auctions, here a single buyer will collect every variation.

I know not how this will play out, but I welcome the innovative distribution when gen art sales are in the dirt.

It also doesn’t hurt that the collection’s trippy black-and-white architectural loops are right up my alley.
