With a flagship business centered on hand-crafted, artisan physical goods, TRAME wanted to explore the potential of translating their artistry into the digital space. They were eager to use Engine Flex to power their minting experience and connect with a network of artists and the Art Blocks community.
Art Blocks Engine delivered a comprehensive solution to meet TRAME's specific needs. Key components included:
This partnership showcased how TRAME could blend its traditional craftsmanship with generative technology, resulting in significant revenue and enhanced collector value. TRAME has since followed the success of its initial release with additional digital and physical products, working with Art Blocks Engine and artists within the Art Blocks ecosystem to produce generative mirrors, chairs, and stained glass in 2024.
Navette juxtaposes the virtual and reality by fusing a digital generative process and a physical loom. This collection offers a voyage between the worlds, a shuttle weaving between the two. Using a combination of digital techniques adapted for the physical world, Navette plays with the notions of series and unique pieces but also of the inherent randomness of the digital realm—featuring the infamous “glitch.” Generative art thus becomes a way of taking a shuttle to the edge of a new universe.
