ORB.

Orb. A name that emerged from nothing in 2022. Digital, physical - a hybrid caught between realms. A practice unafraid of zero, allowing collectors in at entry points that challenge the meaning of value itself. Chaos, humour, spontaneity with structure. Style? There is none - only an evolution of ideas. Identity dissolved, yet present, evolving as the work does.

An $ASH exclusive portrait project, [360] reveals its evolution through four distinct stages of metadata updates:

Pre-Creation: Generated in August 2022, the project introduced two types of souls: Angels and Demons.
Gen I: Birth. The reveal phase. Souls received names, transforming into heroes, some inspired by iconic figures from our world.
Gen II: Evolution. With AI advancing, heroes underwent aesthetic shifts, adopting new traits that blurred their human origins.
Gen III: Destruction. Focus shifted to a new lens. Heroes were digitally dismantled, turning into glitch forms.
Gen IV: Transformation. Finally, heroes experienced another shift through code, settling into a cohesive, unique style that defines their new identity. 

Created on Julian Assange's release day, the piece features 4,389 dots, each representing a day without freedom. Up close, the image appears fragmented, but from a distance, it becomes clearer. This effect symbolizes the layered nature of truth and identity, suggesting that to truly understand a subject, one must take a broader view. 

A nod to Refik Anadol’s “Winds of Yawanawa,” this meme merges the iconic energy of Pepes with the digital sublime. “Winds of Pepe” captures the convergence of internet culture and generative art. For those seeking more, “Pepe Hallucinations” takes the visual experience further, drawing closer to Refik’s immersive approach. Both works were exhibited for the first time as 360° experiences at NFTcc Rome, in 2024.

Exploring light in virtual realms unveils the ethereal essence of the digital universe. Displayed on "The Frame," created by HOXID, during ''The Digital Art Mile'' event in Basel, in 2024.

A conceptual remix of XCOPY’s “COPE SALADA,” the name 'Salada' hints at green dollar bills - an edible metaphor for money. With CC0, we reshape narratives; printing the artwork on an unusual medium creates a new story. Are these bills symbols of artistic worth, or just dollars waiting to be spent?

A meme turned to stone, waiting for a future that might never come. Two sculptures, one black and one white, cast in pyrite, ash, and quartz. Objects pretending to be artifacts or maybe artifacts pretending to be objects. Exhibited & sold at Pepefest, Fake Basel Miami 2024.

An unofficial remix of Pak’s LostPoets through Orb’s custom AI model. Appreciated by the community and acknowledged by Pak. Another fold in the evolution.
