Vebjørn Isaksen is an Oslo-based generative artist and former computer scientist whose code-based work translates natural processes like rock formation and tree growth into algorithmic images.Isaksen builds each project as a long form generative art series, developing an algorithm through trial and error until a distinct visual result emerges.,
Isaksen released cordillera, named for a mountain range system, on Teia in 2021, followed the same year by the Pillars series on Foundation, minimalist isometric structures repeated across a grid.In 2022 Isaksen made OBSTACLES, an isometric study minted on Foundation that places differently sized obstacles in diagonal lines across the canvas in what Isaksen calls “controlled chaos”, using a color palette built by Matt DesLauriers.Isaksen released Strata, a 650-edition generative series inspired by rock layering, on Art Blocks on March 11, 2022, followed by the 275-edition Dendro, inspired by the growth rings of trees, on Art Blocks on August 21, 2023.,
OBSTACLES appeared in “PHYGITAL”, a group show of generative artists that opened at Kate Vass Galerie on April 18, 2022, and later in the exhibition's Oncyber.io virtual finissage curated by fellow participating artist Gordon Berger.,Kate Vass Galerie has offered hand-signed fine art prints of Strata tied to individual token ownership, each print unique to its corresponding NFT minted on Art Blocks.
