NiftyNoon: Everyone is Missing the Point: Snowfro’s Next Generative Collection / / / Lives Up to the Squiggle Legacy
/ / / excites, not due to its visual design, but because of its technical ambition (October 13, 2023)
Nifty Thought
Details of Erick Snowfro’s / / / generative collection (in collaboration with RedBull Racing and ArtOnInternet) have finally emerged. As noted previously on NiftyNoon, this collection will have a supply of 2000 NFTs with each Velocity Pass holder receiving 1 free mint (October 25th at 10 AM eastern time) and the remaining 1000 NFTs being sold online and in-person at the Formula 1 Austin event.
There has been some controversy surrounding the nature of the / / / artwork with some going so far as to even critique the work’s quality. While the design is certainly simple, this aesthetic was deliberate and intentional. To focus purely on the digital work is to miss the point of this piece. In typical Erick fashion, Snowfro wished to innovate with this new collection. Thus, there is a component where each / / / NFT can redeem a custom hat with the artwork directly embroidered. Snowfro’s goal with this physical was to create 1/1/x physical goods that have the same production cost as the production cost of identical items. He therefore set out to evoke a sense of speed and velocity (in the spirit of Formula 1) whilst operating under the constraint of a 15 thread embroidery machine. His ability to do all of this while still delivering splashes of color and variability across the collection should be commended. The limitations by which / / / was created are what ultimately make it special. In this regard, / / / certainly lives up to its Chromie Squiggle legacy; both collections are visually simple and both collections sought to push the space forward with innovative new technology.
