Au d\u00e9part, Mark Knol, concepteur de jeux vid\u00e9o chez Media.Monks, \u00e9tait passionn\u00e9 de programmation, d’art et de guitare. Il s\u2019est lanc\u00e9 dans la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019art g\u00e9n\u00e9ratif vers 2008, \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 Flash et ActionScript \u00e9taient \u00e0 la mode. Sensible aux critiques environnementales li\u00e9es au minage et \u00e0 la validation des transactions, Mark Knol ne s\u2019est d\u2019abord pas int\u00e9ress\u00e9 aux \u0153uvres on-chain. Mais sa rencontre avec Mario Klingemann et Matt DesLaurier, avec leurs \u0153uvres on-chain \u00e0 faible consommation \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique, va changer la donne.
\nIl devient l’un des artistes les plus connus de la communaut\u00e9 d’art g\u00e9n\u00e9ratif Tezos et ses Smolskulls sont d\u00e9sormais partout. L’histoire de l’un de ces Smolskulls est plut\u00f4t amusante. Loin d\u2019avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7u \u00e0 l’origine comme un \u00ab projet PFP \u00bb, il se rend compte par la suite qu’ils peuvent devenir le reflet d’une touche artistique personnelle et sinc\u00e8re.
\nLe sien prend la forme d\u2019un cr\u00e2ne pixellis\u00e9, avec une t\u00eate ronde, ce qui en fait un m\u00e9lange entre pixel et art vectoriel. Pour ce faire, il utilise une poign\u00e9e de couleurs mais une grande vari\u00e9t\u00e9 d’expressions faciales.
\nAu cours des dix derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, Mark a produit et contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 une centaine de projets open source, y compris des contributions majeures \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 Haxe. Il a produit un large \u00e9ventail d’\u0153uvres d’art g\u00e9n\u00e9ratif et a \u00e9t\u00e9 class\u00e9 parmi les 20 meilleurs artistes sur hicetnunc et fxhash. Il a \u00e9galement cr\u00e9\u00e9 des projets, des jeux et des \u0153uvres prim\u00e9es dans le monde entier pour des marques telles que Google, Red Bull, Amazon, Pandora, Netflix, McLaren, pour n’en citer que quelques-unes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
