Public-Library partnered with The Recording Academy and CBS to create the visual identity for the 64th Grammy Awards. Our design system pays homage to the sonic echoes, cultural reverberations of music, the spiritual waves crashing against each other until they flood every corner of influence. From the smallest voice, to the largest orchestra. Our system visualizes the journey of creativity that leads to the only stage big enough to contain it all: The Grammys.

"Too Much Information" (TMI) refers to a colloquial expression used to convey the overwhelming feeling that arises when an individual is confronted with an excessive volume of data, details, or content, often to the point of becoming difficult to process or manage effectively. This concept is commonly used to highlight the challenges of navigating a world saturated with information, particularly in the digital age where data is readily accessible and constantly flowing. The phrase is employed across various contexts, ranging from personal experiences to discussions about information overload in fields such as communication, technology, and education.

The Beat Foundry emerged when two jazz musicians left music school to delve into software engineering and music production. Faced with the difficulty of sustaining their desired lifestyles through jazz, they discovered NFTs as a new medium for artists to build communities, collaborate, and support themselves.

Bridges is a generative music series by Oshi, we focused on the musical variation by way of the midi arrangement to create a flexible pattern system, denoting which variation you've minted, rarity is demonstrated by the materiality and visual construction allowing for each NFT to be visually unique but connected to a branded theme.

This NFT collection is designed to unlock song ownership + an experience.

As a musician, song ownership has been the most compelling aspect of music NFTs. You get to let someone feel what it’s like to listen to a song that they own a piece of. Now I want to push on the unique experiences I can offer people and bring them into my music world. Each NFT has an experiences attached to it — The Song Experience, The Data Experience, The Future Experience, or The Full Experience.

The Taken Experience on FND

A collection of sculptures rendered in Cinema 4D—a snapshot crystallized within a 3D noise field. Each piece captures a moment of harmony, an artful choreography frozen in time, exuding elegance from the entire body of human forms that transcend the transient trends of style.

The series is an ode to the timeless grace of human movement and interaction. This visual sonnet whispers of class and sophistication without uttering a single word of the transient lexicon of high couture.

This collection remembers a good cloud sunset in Tulum, right before a rainstorm. Cycling back from the beach at dusk, the clouds were large and luminous, outlined so intensely by the low golden light of a day drawing to a close. It was a moment of wonder, and it was important to stop and look.

Collages, a generative music series by Daniel Allen, explores musical variation using butterfly collages to establish a versatile pattern system. Minted variations are indicated, while rarity is conveyed through the puffiness of vacuum-sealed packs and distinctive visual elements, ensuring each NFT is visually unique yet tied to a branded theme.

Ways of seeing: a continuation of our practice in making things together from afar.

Whilst Catherine Ko Chen is in Mallorca for the month of March creating a new series of paintings. Every day of the month, she will document something that speaks to her and send it to San Francisco, where I will use this artifact as the starting point for a related work. It will be an ongoing conversation over time and distance with the surrounding environment, the work itself, and each other.

Nouns and Vector DAO are collaborating on a series titled “Independent, Together”, a collection of 8 artworks remixing Nouns artifacts into 6 foot wheatpaste posters to be displayed around NYC during NFT NYC. Each poster will have a QR code, allowing viewers to mint 1 / 150 limited edition NFTs of each artwork. Proceeds from these NFT sales will go towards buying a Noun, replenishing the Nouns' treasury and continuing this virtuous cycle of permissionless creation.

This volume, "O.Y.W. S." is an artistic chronicle capturing the essence of a shared journey through creation. It is a printed testament to the work forged over a year, a tangible reflection of the intertwining spirits of my partner and me. Each creation is not merely an artifact but a narrative chapter cataloged within this compendium to illustrate the evolution of our collective expression and spiritual interplay.

The pieces within this collection are organized into sub-collections, each embodying a distinct phase of our cohabitation. The tactile nature of the solid surfaces and the whimsical dance of the floral motifs within our space have inspired a fusion of angular precision and organic spontaneity in our work. This book is an homage to that dance—a dance that is a personal tribute and a universal tale of partnership in art and life.

These images evoke the essence of quantum mechanics through their spherical symmetry and complex internal structures reminiscent of quantum computers and their core components. Each image reflects the paradoxical nature of quantum systems—simultaneously simple in their geometric forms and infinitely complex in their internal workings.

Each cartridge in this collection is a dual showcase of animation, its content echoed in the visual label and its singularity marked by a distinctive numerical stamp. The color tone of each edition mirrors a sonic spectrum, ranging from the cool whispers to the warm echoes, from the dim recesses to the bright highlights.

Collage material made using AI, product cartridge models are made in C4D.

Imagine plants with neural networks mirroring the brain's intricate pathways, blossoming on otherworldly landscapes. These are not mere organisms, but intellectual entities with the ability to process information, adapt to their environments, and perhaps even communicate. Each narrative examines the potential of these lifeforms, their ecological systems, and their interactions with their extraterrestrial habitats, inviting us to expand our understanding of life and consciousness within the universe.

A generative series broken into three parts with an accompanying essay.

"In the quiet of forest winter, I find the beauty of waiting - the subtle whistling of the wind and the interplay of light and shadow, a muted symphony of the natural world, shaped in each passing moment by the promise of branches rustling, birds chirping, and the hum of creativity in the season to come."

This series captures the tumultuous elegance of generative flow systems and colliding land masses. Here, the violent clash of terrain gives rise to forms as delicate as they are tumultuous, illustrating the powerful beauty that can emerge from chaotic beginnings.

The collection features unconventional shapes that challenge the classic silhouette of high-end fashion accessories, offering a tactile experience that is as unique as it is sensual.

The carefully curated color spectrum of the collection—from profound, saturated shades to gentle, understated tints—enhances the sensory experience. I designed each to be a subtle extension of one's style, providing a luxurious hand-feel that brings a quiet satisfaction to the daily ritual of selection and use.
