CODAME Artist SuperRare Launch

SuperRare Editorial is open to submissions, send your article to [email protected] to be featured.

CODAME is excited to launch four of their artists’ work on SuperRare: Snow Yunxue Fu, Char Stiles, Jordan Gray (staRpauSe) and Janessa Robinson. 

CODAME sparks visionaries with playful workshops and an inclusive ART+TECH Festival, running since 2010. CODAME celebrates the value of creativity through inspiring experiences like art projects, sales, performances, and installations. CODAME shapes the future by bringing customized lectures, team off-sites, and team building to companies like Adobe, Capital One, Github, Google, and Salesforce.

CODAME recently launched its ART+TECH Gallery, where you can buy art & merchandise from some of the 300+ artists that we’ve had the privilege to partner with over the last ten years as part of its mission to provide more opportunities to sell and showcase their artists’ work. 

Some work for sale comes from attendees of CODAME #CodeArtTogether workshops. Connecting, building, and sharing are pillars of the accessible programming that CODAME offers. Attendees from all backgrounds and walks of life discover the value of creativity by finding that spark within themselves. Sharing art built in the workshops brings attendees closer together. Having workshop creations in CODAME art shows and for sale empowers them as creative technologists.

CODAME is now helping artists enter the world of Crypto Art by providing education, application assistance, onboarding and marketing guidance/support. CODAME also works with each artist to include a physical piece such as an Infinite Object, a print or a t-shirt that is available as a compliment to each digital tokenized piece. These are available for individual sale, as a bundle with discount opportunities and can also be included as a gift with purchase. 

CODAME is honored by the opportunity to showcase these artists’ work on SuperRare and is looking forward to launching more artists in the future! Our artists have a diverse range of digital art offerings including AI, Generative Art, Algorithmic Art, 3D and VR. 

Introducing the four CODAME artists and their genesis pieces available only on SuperRare:

by SNOW YUNXUE FU 

The collection of floating liquid forms the shapes of the bodies together at times and then disintegrates into other objects and parts, underlining the connectivity we have with one another, in both material and immaterial ways. We have a long-term dilemma for we have a short-term body. Working with 3D software and CG imaging technology, Fu creates scenes of experimental abstraction that translate the concept of liminality into the subliminal digital experience.

CONJOIN Chapter 2 and 3 will be available in the upcoming months exclusively on SuperRare. 

Snow’s work is also available at the CODAME ART+TECH Gallery.

US-based Chinese-born New Media artist, Curator, and Assistant Arts Professor in the Department of Photography and Imaging at New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Using topographical computer-rendered images and installations, her practice merges historical, post-photographic, philosophical, and painterly explorations into the universal aesthetic and definitive nature of the techno sublime. 

by CHAR STILES

Screen Dye is a nonrepresentational time-based form, inspired by tie-dye and water caustics. These shapes were created by GLSL code, using math to describe shape, color and flow.

Char’s work is also available at the CODAME ART+TECH Gallery

Char Stiles is a multidisciplinary digital artist. She works using emerging technologies as tools for expression.
