Tezos to Participate in Compositions in Code: the Art of Processing and p5.js in New York on March 6th
Tezos Foundation and Moving Image NYC have announced a new chapter in their partnership with the launch of “Compositions in Code: The Art of Processing and p5.js”. The generative art exhibition will open on March 6, showcasing works that bridge Processing pioneers with contemporary p5.js artists.The exhibition will feature notable artists, including:— Marius Watz & Aleksandra Jovanic— LIA & Sarah Ridgley— Robert Hodgin & Melissa WiederrechtEach diptych-style collaboration explores the evolution of creative coding, highlighting how Processing and p5.js have transformed generative art. Attendees will have the opportunity to mint artwork on-site or online via Tezos. Refer to the official tweet by XTZ: Announcing an exciting chapter in the and partnership: Compositions in CodeThe generative series opens on March 6 - everyone is invited.Featured artists: & & & XTZ InfoTezos is a distinctive blockchain platform architected to facilitate and govern decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Its foundation is built on a decentralized governance system that enables blockchain modifications through a community-led decision-making process.Operating on a unique iteration of Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism known as Liquid Proof of Stake (LPoS), Tezos allows participants owning more than 6,000 Tez (XTZ) to become delegates, or “bakers”. These bakers are responsible for creating, signing, and publishing new blocks on the Tezos blockchain, and endorsing blocks produced by other bakers. Furthermore, the network utilizes the Michelson programming language for the creation of smart contracts, which engage with the network’s cryptocurrency, Tez, for transaction execution and gas payment.The native token of Tezos, XTZ, or Tez, plays a multifaceted role within the ecosystem. It serves as a reward for participation in the creation and endorsement of new blocks, either directly or through delegation. It functions as a voting mechanism within the decentralized governance system. Additionally, it is a means of value transfer and is used to pay for gas, the unit of computational effort in Tezos, necessary for executing transactions and interacting with smart contracts.
