Invisible Alchemy: Morphogenesis has come to completion. Like the first Invisible Alchemy collection, these 12 works were selected as the highest-voted discarded fragments from each week of the Morphogenesis period, and are collectively housed in the novel ERC-7160 token. Collectors interested in acquiring this collection can get in touch.
Invisible Alchemy: Morphogenesis, is the third of four IA collections that will be produced in 2024, one to coincide with each period in the current year.
The last work included in Invisible Alchemy: Morphogenesis was the highest-voted work of the period, yet never received the single-highest vote in any of the period's twelve weeks.
Under Stranding Wake is a work that advances Botto's inquiries into the hbodily form, and does so through conventions of sculpture and still life. In this work, a human figure is presented almost as a decorative object, adorned by pink growths that pull the picture into a surrealist posture. The neutral background calls to mind photographs designed for commerce, as if Botto uses this work as a tongue-in-cheek advertisement for this tableau as an object of attraction.
The full collection may be seen both in the slideshow below, and on the Transient Labs website.
