🎨 Fragmented Vision Meets Blockchain
**Art Blocks debuts at Art Basel** with a hybrid installation bridging digital and physical art. **The centerpiece:** A massive 2 by 2.5 meter painting composed of 20 hand-painted panels, inspired by David Hockney's fragmented approach to landscape. **Key concept:** Each panel stands alone, yet together they reveal one of William Pan's generative landscapes - embodying the idea that fragmentation itself becomes a way of seeing. The series exists in dual form: - Digital generative landscapes - Physical painted works This marks a significant moment where blockchain-based generative art enters the traditional fine art world through one of its most prestigious venues.
