Art Blocks' EXSTASIS
Art Blocks’ EXSTASIS — Grant Oesterling’s abstract pixel‑painting series inspired by Miró and Kandinsky — is on display at the Museum of Light + Art through Aug. 16. The project was shared with a demo video on social, signalling generative/abstract digital work moving into museum settings. (x.com)
Exstasis is an Art Blocks Presents release comprising 111 unique generative artworks that dropped on June 14, 2023. (artblocks.io)) The project's code deliberately pairs organic curvilinear forms with pixel dithering and layered digital noise to produce a bridge between 16‑bit pixel aesthetics and fluid abstract composition. (token.artblocks.io)) The Museum of Art + Light mounted Exstasis as part of EMULATION: Selections from the Art Blocks 500, a group exhibition that opened March 4, 2026 and is scheduled to run through August 16, 2026. (artlightmuseum.org)) EMULATION brings together work by eleven generative artists, including Sterling Crispin, Licia He, Loie Hollowell, Carolina Melis, Kelly Milligan, MountVitruvius (Anthony Hiley‑Mann), Grant Oesterling, Harvey Rayner, Ben Snell, Marcelo Soria‑Rodríguez, and Iskra Velitchkova. (artblocks.io)) The Museum of Art + Light bills itself as a roughly 100,000‑square‑foot institution focused on immersive and digital collections in Manhattan, Kansas, and lists its street address as 316 Pierre Street. (artlightmuseum.org)) Individual Exstasis pieces are rendered and tracked on Art Blocks’ token pages — for example, Exstasis #37 appears on the Art Blocks token site and is shown as owned by the account "coolranch."
