Artist Sterling Crispin has released two new generative art collections on Art Blocks. **Flourish** functions as an algorithmic architect's notebook, creating designs that bridge historical architectural precedents with contemporary innovation. The collection balances traditional design principles with modern computational methods. **Neophyte MMXXII** explores nature's computational patterns through generative plant life. Each piece features plants that grow, bloom, fade, and regenerate in unique cycles. Both collections are now available on Art Blocks, where each minted piece generates a unique, algorithmically-created artwork stored on the Ethereum blockchain. - [View Flourish Collection](https://www.artblocks.io/collection/flourish-by-sterling-crispin) - [View Neophyte MMXXII Collection](https://www.artblocks.io/collection/neophyte-mmxxii-by-sterling-crispin)

Artist Loie Hollowell has launched **CONTRACTIONS** on Art Blocks, a generative art collection exploring her personal experiences with childbirth. The collection builds on Hollowell's Split Orb sculptural paintings, which she developed after the birth of her second child. Each piece features two divided orbs: - The upper orb represents the artist's brain - The lower orb symbolizes her pregnant belly and cervix The work translates deeply personal, embodied experiences into on-chain generative art. Each minted piece creates a unique variation of Hollowell's vision, stored permanently on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Museum of Art + Light (MoA+L) is hosting **EMULATION: Selections from the Art Blocks 500**, featuring twelve generative art projects from ten artists. **Exhibition Details:** - Running until August 16, 2026 - Showcases work from Art Blocks 500 collection - Features ten artists across twelve projects The exhibition highlights programmable, on-demand generative art stored on the Ethereum blockchain. Each piece represents algorithmically created content that ranges from static images to interactive experiences, demonstrating the diversity of blockchain-based digital art.

Artist @rvig_art has released **Field Impact**, a generative art collection on Art Blocks Studio where **60% of proceeds directly fund Doctors Without Borders** operations. **Key Details:** - Each artwork visualizes real humanitarian data from specific regions - Source data includes medical treatments, emergency interventions, and vaccine distributions - Complex visual structures reflect the logistical and political challenges faced by field medical teams The series transforms humanitarian action into on-chain art, with each piece representing actual medical operations worldwide.

**Prohibition**, the art platform on Arbitrum, is highlighting its **Pro11**—the first 11 projects that launched on the platform before the AB500 milestone. The platform has grown significantly since its inception: - Started with 11 pioneering art projects - Now features over **300 artists** - All works are discoverable through [Art Blocks](https://artblocks.io) Prohibition brought accessible generative art to the Arbitrum network, allowing artists to create on-demand programmable content stored on the blockchain. The Pro11 projects represent the trailblazers who helped establish the platform's foundation. Explore the original Pro11 collection to see where Prohibition's artistic journey began.
