Curated Mutations from Mutant Garden Seeder, a derivative project, mintable until pruned, immutably stored on-chain and on Arweave.

A new open-ended Ethereum ERC721 collection containing minted mutations. One token represents one static mutation. These tokens do not mutate further but are snapshots in time. The metadata of these tokens is stored on-chain and the mutation state images (SVG) on Arweave.

Will be released on Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, 12 PM EST / 18:00 CET.

This work is a 2022 reimagining of a previously unreleased composite drawing I made in 2012. At the time I was investigating the Deviant Art community as an outsider, somewhat as visual anthropologist. The aesthetics that emerged from that community strike me as influential for many Degen PFP NFT projects - but then without the financial component. The image is animated with a wavy SVG filter, and it responds to your operating system's settings for 'light' or 'dark' mode appearance.
