Dmitri Cherniak reconfigures his pioneering series with a silkscreen print that nods to the algorithmic parameters of Generative art.

Originally released in 2021, the Ringers series illustrates the almost infinite ways a string could be wrapped around a set of pegs, created by an algorithm that allows a limitless variety of combinations of this concept. Derived from a unique Javascript transaction hash, each output contains feature variations including peg count, size, layout, wrap orientation and colourful flourishes.

Realised as a physical print edition, this new incarnation of Ringers is a 9-piece parameter sweep laid out in a 3x3 grid. The number of pegs sampled are changed between 10% and 100%, with the signature yellow peg remaining consistent in each composition. Ringer #962, donated to Los Angeles County Museum of Art, appears in the centre. To support the future of LACMA, proceeds from Cherniak's first Avant Arte edition will be donated to the museum, alongside the original work.

The artist’s three signature colours are boldly realised in seven layers of silkscreen, each enhanced by embossment. Each print is paired with an NFT of the same artwork. Claiming instructions will be shared with collectors after launch.

The exact edition size will be determined by the number of prints ordered in the 24 hour release window. When this window ends, artworks will be printed and shipped worldwide free of charge.

Behind the scenes

Dmitri Cherniak1 collaborationOne question is at the heart of Dmitri Cherniak's practice – what are the possibilities of automated art? Using algorithms, he crafts intricate abstract artworks that vary in mood and design. He takes the technology of our age (which we associate with social media companies and targeted ads) and turns it into all kinds of beauty. The layered, hazy textures in Light Years are subtle and captivating, tender but firm. They emanate a deep existential feeling we don't expect to see from a computer. Ringers, one of Cherniak's most famous collections, is at the other end of the spectrum. Its crisp, graphic compositions were generated by a code inspired by The Graphic Design Manual, a 1960s book by Swiss designer Armin Hofmann.
