Art Blocks Introduces PostParams with DDUST Collection

TRAME has released **INTERPLAY**, a handcrafted backgammon set that combines traditional craftsmanship with generative art. The project is a collaboration with Studio Nada Debs, featuring code developed by Art Blocks 500 artist @annaluciacodes. Each backgammon set features unique, algorithmically-generated designs. - Physical craftsmanship meets digital art - One-of-a-kind patterns created through code - Partnership between TRAME and Studio Nada Debs The project represents a practical application of generative art in physical objects.

Art Blocks has released a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables developers to integrate generative art functionality into their applications. **Key Features:** - Search the Art Blocks catalog - Check wallet holdings - Build mint transactions - Access via [https://mcp.artblocks.io/mcp](https://mcp.artblocks.io/mcp) The release follows the creation of AB5D by collector @maxand98, which serves as a collector-led archive documenting early generative art's cultural significance. The project demonstrates practical applications of the MCP server. Developers can now connect any MCP client to the server and begin building applications. Documentation is available at [docs.artblocks.io](http://docs.artblocks.io).

Art Blocks has released an **open API and MCP server** for its Bios collection, making all content available under a **CC0 license**. - Developers can now build on top of the Bios data through a public API - The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables broader integration possibilities - All biographical content is released into the public domain with no copyright restrictions The API is accessible at [ab500.xyz/api](https://ab500.xyz/api), allowing anyone to create tools, applications, or services using the Bios data.

A comprehensive archive documenting the Art Blocks 500 collection has been released, featuring detailed information on all 308 participating artists. **Key Features:** - Sourced biographies for each of the 308 artists - Verified bibliographies and historical essays - Live collector register tracking ownership - AI agents handle maintenance under human oversight The archive represents a significant documentation effort for one of the earliest generative art platforms on Ethereum, combining human curation with AI-powered maintenance to preserve the history of this era in digital art.

Artist Lammetje is launching **Continuum**, a new generative art collection on Art Blocks Studio on **July 23**. The work explores minimalist aesthetics through: - Connected marks and dots - Layered color compositions - Organic line movement with minimal friction Lammetje describes the collection as focusing on *"connection and uncontrolled movement,"* where different elements gradually merge into unified images. The artist's approach emphasizes simple visual elements—color, light, and texture—to create cohesive artworks. Prospective collectors can preview the algorithm's range of possible outputs on the [Continuum project page](https://artblocks.io) before the launch.
