INTRODUCING Tyler Hobbs | From Noise One new generative series Six new screen prints Presented by @solos_gallery at Art Basel Miami Beach ↓

Verse is thrilled to host SOLOS for the gallery’s debut appearance at Art Basel.

SOLOS will showcase new works by Tyler Hobbs - a key figure in one of art history’s most transformative chapters to date: the era of the blockchain.

Tyler’s standing in the movement is recognised by many of the world’s most prominent collections and institutions, with works residing in LACMA & SFMOMA, and an extensive exhibition history that includes a solo show at Pace Gallery, NYC.

His work is synonymous with the rise of generative and blockchain art. Fidenza - his seminal Art Blocks series - remains one of the most coveted artworks minted on Ethereum to date.

From Noise is Tyler’s latest body of work - a series of 12 + 1 AP, each selected by the artist from his latest algorithm.

From Noise marks a departure from the conventions of algorithmic art. Often in long-form generative series, the ‘artwork’ is the system itself, expressed through hundreds or thousands of iterations.

Here however, Tyler distills the algorithm’s evolution into 13 singular works, each representing a specific moment in the algorithm’s progression. This is not a set of outputs that represent an algorithm-as-an-artwork, but a series of standalone pieces in their own right.

The initial idea for the series stems from a question Tyler has sat with for nearly a decade: can a code-based artwork carry the same organic expressiveness as one made by hand?

Tyler found himself returning to this question this summer in Madrid. Here he found a graffiti-covered wall with layers of marks from different contributors - a collaboration between humans and humanity.

This interplay of living systems became the foundation for the new algorithm, designed to echo the wall’s chaotic complexity while also simulating human gesture.

Up close, we see a dense build-up of gestural marks. Stepping back, the marks resolve into a coherent composition that only exists with distance.

In addition to From Noise, Tyler will also present 6 new silkscreen editions at Art Basel Miami, each depicting details from From Noise outputs.

Each print isolates a single gesture from the larger From Noise compositions - just one moment out of ~4,000 gestures that build each digital work.

By extracting and enlarging a single procedural stroke, the prints invite us to consider the gesture not as something designed, shaped through intention, constraints, and controlled inconsistency.

“These screen prints were designed with space and slowness in mind. To me, they work similarly to a good zen rock garden, where the eye can smoothly flow through space before setting into the quiet contemplation of a curious stone, rich with detail.” - @tylerxhobbs

Art Basel Miami Beach runs from 3 - 7 December. We will be announcing further From Noise & Translated Gestures sale details in advance of the fair opening.
