Boogie-Woogie NFT Run #1
Our first NFT drop is coming very soon (early Q4 2021)! Give us a follow on Twitter and join the community on Discord. Only 1970 Boogie-Woogie NFT’s through 2024.
We will release a run of 125 Boogie-Woogie NFTs each quarter, beginning Q4 of 2021 and ending Q4 of 2024. For each run, we select 5 works of art and print a series (25 unique 1-of-1 Boogie-Woogie NFTs) per work of art. This, along with a reserve of 345 NFTs for Bespoke Boogie-Woogies, totals 1970 Boogie-Woogie NFTs as defined in our smart contract.
The First Run — Our Inspiration
Inspired by the ones who have walked before us, we have carefully selected 5 works of art for our inspiration. Then we run through our Boogie-Woogie process to create 25 unique NFTs from each inspiration piece. Total NFTs from Run #1 is 125. The 5 works of art and 125 count per run will stay consistent through each run produced quarterly through 2024.

What drives the Boogie-Woogie process?
There exists beauty in randomness, though it can become overwhelming and sometimes visually disagreeable. We look to balance randomness and control through code to achieve two things:
- Allow the essence of what we find inspiring in a piece of art to come through
- Create a unique piece of generative art that is visually engaging and representative of the original
Motivated by the artwork of the neoplasticists from the early 20th Century — most notably, Mondrian — we find the practice of distilling an object or idea to its core visual essence both challenging and rewarding. To explore this area, we look to our artistic capabilities and ability to code. Balancing these two to explore this concept of distillation is what drives the core of Boogie-Woogie.
In short, we love code and we love art. Wherever these two intersect, we’ll dig in.
