Quine by Larva Labs is the final entry in the Art Blocks curated series, a project that underscores that all the works on the Art Blocks platform are generated directly from code with no artist supervision.
Quine extends the computer science concept of self-replicating programs into visual art, where each work incorporates its own source code into a pixel grid and is capable of recreating itself. The code and its visual output, which are typically held separate in generative art, become entwined and indivisible.
While some are “Perfect-Quines” that reproduce themselves exactly, others cycle through multiple generations – its "quinity" before returning to its origin state.
