GenuaryForever ✨
We’re closing out our GenuaryForever campaign with a breathtaking final release: Contours by the esteemed generative artist Motus. This work marks the twelfth and final chapter in a journey that began as a tribute to the spirit of Genuary—a month-long celebration of creative coding and generative art.
Launched in February, GenuaryForever was designed to give artists time and space to create during Genuary itself, then offered them the opportunity to preserve their generative pieces as Ordinals on Bitcoin. The campaign wasn’t just about permanence—it was about honoring artistic experimentation and fostering a sense of continuity and collaboration through Bitcoin’s recursive inscription model, where each piece can build upon the ones that came before it.
Contours is a generative exploration of an abstract and unfamiliar landscape, visualized as a vibrant, animated topographical map. The piece drifts in ever-changing directions, revealing fleeting moments of structure, disorder, and quiet beauty. With Contours, Motus captures the magic of generative art—the balance between order and chaos, intention and randomness.
Motus, a recent finalist at the Digital Art Awards curated by HOFA Gallery, also has a physical work on display at Phillips London this week. We’re honored to present Contours as the final piece in this landmark initiative. With a limited supply of 88 and priced at approximately 0.00033 BTC, it’s available to mint now on Gamma:

One of One Art on BTC 🖼️
Grid of the Forgotten by KILL-A-DETH Studio: Grid of the Forgotten is a narrative-driven art series exploring memory, identity, and the tension between what we remember and what we let fade away. Set against a mysterious wall known as The Grid, the collection follows six symbolic figures who rise to break its silence: The Silent One, The Fortune Teller, The Ape Who Remembers, The Last Punk Standing, Pepe the King of Lost Hopes, and The King of the Forgotten Faces. Blending physical and digital artistry.
the hand #35077738, 2023: a collab between cvr and theartist - the hand was created after a hand injury led me to get physical xray imaging that i then decided to have fun with. once the image was uploaded, this was my first time experimenting with true analog devices while then collaborating with theartist on interactive coding for hover glitch capabilities.
Gyrifract by Karmelo: Gyrifract, marks a striking departure from his character-based work—a bold foray into generative abstraction that further underscores his range as a digital artist. Gyrifract is an 8bit generative art collection inspired by the intricate gyri & sulci of the human brain. It explores the beauty in simplicity while embracing the fragmented, shifting nature of thought. Like a neural maze, each piece reflects the journey of the mind—sometimes fluid, sometimes fractured, occasionally lost, yet always evolving. Gyrifract features 200 serialized jpgs on sequential block 9 450x sats and 30 animated glitch pieces—all under artist/parent/child provenance.
Impressions of Form by Costo Bravo: is a four-part series inscribed in high resolution on Bitcoin Ordinals: Brutalis, Verdan, Dunara, and Castel. Symbolic, seasonal, architectural, futuristic in tone, analog in texture. Built with intent.
Partner of the Week 👨🎨
Meet Superno, born and raised in a sleepy village in Portugal, describes himself as a simple soul. As a child, he wandered the countryside with a notebook tucked under his arm, capturing the world around him with eager sketches — trees whispering in the breeze, sunlit white houses, and everything in between. Art was his freedom, his little corner of peace, even while he worked young to help his family make ends meet.
