From Proof to Print: Order/Disorder Collector’s Edition features Hobbs’ Artist Proofs

Art books have been crucial in Tyler Hobbs' artistic journey, offering reference and insight into admired artists' visions and creative processes. His collection of books allows him to deeply connect with an artist's vision, providing a unique opportunity to understand their perspective and creative process.

Order/Disorder is crafted with the same goals in mind. It is for anyone interested in delving deeper into Tyler's work, designed to be approachable while also revealing new insights into the details of his art.

We’re thrilled to reveal an exciting inclusion to the Order/Disorder Collector’s Edition. In a move that bridges the gap between the digital and physical art worlds, each Collector’s Edition will include one limited edition print from one of Tyler’s Artist Proofs.

Each Collector’s Edition features one of the following limited edition prints:

• QQL #1

• Fidenza #0

• Careless and Well-Intentioned (AP)

• Incomplete Control #0

• Stripes 0.6

These prints are hand-editioned and include the title and year they were generated.

The Collector’s Edition is limited to 999 copies, mirroring the editions of QQL and Fidenza. Each hardcover book is bound with premium cloth, includes a satin bookmark, and features an NFC chip embedded into the cover with autograph capability. Most notably, each Collector’s Edition comes with one of the aforementioned hand-editioned prints, making this a true collector’s item.

Once sold out, the Collector’s Edition will not be produced again. Order yours today!

For those seeking a more accessible option, the Trade Edition of Order/Disorder is also available. The Trade Edition offers the same in-depth exploration of Hobbs' work without the limited-edition features. You can purchase your Trade Edition here or here.

Tyler is excited to announce his participation in the inaugural exhibition at the Museum of Art and Light (MoA+L), a groundbreaking institution set to open its doors in November 2024. Located in Manhattan, Kansas, MoA+L is conceived as the first contemporary art museum in the world to showcase immersive, digital, and permanent collections from inception. The museum will explore the convergence of visual art, the creative process and digital technology featuring a dedicated wing for digital art.

The multi-month exhibition, titled Code & Canvas: Defining Digital Art in the Age of the Blockchain will showcase works by Tyler alongside fellow artists: Grant Yun, Emily Xie, Erick “Snowfro” Calderon, and Sasha Stiles.

Celebrate QQL's Second Anniversary!

It's hard to believe that two years have passed since the launch of QQL. Since its inception, we’ve seen over 4.5 million seeds generated. The upcoming celebration is a culmination of creativity, co-creation and unwavering community enthusiasm.

As we approach the two-year milestone, we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone through a series of exciting events and opportunities!

MoA+L QQL Trio Auction

Leading up to the anniversary, we're offering three special auctions in partnership with the MoA+L, Iconic, and ATOM featuring a personally curated trio of pieces selected by Tyler himself.

Tyler will offer three new digital outputs accompanied by their matching framed 30” x 37” artist-stamped, museum-quality print, created using the QQL algorithm he developed in collaboration with Indigo Mané. Using computational methodologies and inspired by the generative mindsets of modern painters, including Sol LeWitt and Bridget Riley, Hobbs’ QQL algorithm explores the possibilities of co-creation and the power of emergence in “long-form” generative art.

One of the pillars of QQL has always been co-creation, and this trio is no exception. One of the three curated pieces will feature the parametric artwork of beloved community member Anders Carlson, showcasing the collaborative spirit that lies at the heart of the project. For the first time, Hobbs will personally curate and mint a trio of QQL outputs, which will be available to collect during the 48-hour auctions.

Auctions Open: Wednesday, September 25th
Bidding Starts At: 9am PT / 12pm ET
Auction Length: 48 hours
Reserve Prices: TBA
Free Shipping For Auction Winners

Please note, because these works will be included in the Museum of Art + Light’s upcoming exhibition, the framed prints will be shipped to the winning bidders at the conclusion of the exhibition.
