I was drawn to Rudxane work when I first saw his [rings(∞)](https://www.fxhash.xyz/marketplace/generative/4102) collection on FxHash, where he masterfully played with math to produce lines that generate special ringy effects. He is a software developer originally from Amsterdam, who finds inspiration in the intersection between computers and humans by taking simple themes to guide his abstract compositions.

***How did you discover NFTs?***

> As many other Web 3 participants, I started playing with NFTs around 2018 (Cryptokitties) for a short period and came back in summer 2021 as I found a place to share my art.

Rudxane was one of FxHash early adopters, so early that his Bingo collection was the 5th ever minted series in the platform.&#x20;

> “Bingo is a series of 500 randomly generated "bingo" cards. Language unknown.”

***What inspired your first collection, Bingo?***

> Bingo was an outtake of the main series I was working on back then, not knowing where to release it which ended up as [Tych](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/tych). Bingo is a single variation of "doodles" in a smaller format and different aspect ratios. Each grid block gets assigned a random color, a visibility switch and hidden value, deciding if they are shown as black, color or hidden all together.

**Can you tell me a bit about your creation process?**

> I'm interested in the intersection between computers and humans. What makes a piece human-generated or computer-generated. What is the difference between the two of these. [Tych ](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/tych)is an exploration between these two using core concepts from both; computer (grids and repetition) and human (misalignment and inconsistency).

**Who are your favorite NFT artists, and why?**

> [**dhof**](https://twitter.com/dhof)**:** on-chain experimentation, storytelling.

> [**Matt DesLauriers**](https://twitter.com/mattdesl)**:** amazing work and doing active research to the wider crypto ecosystem

> [**Nicolas Sassoon**](https://twitter.com/Nicolas_Sassoon)**:** complex simplicity and amazing use of color

When talking about his creative mindset, Rudxane structures his mind in two different groups.

> My projects are sort of divided into two elements, more serious projects, and experiments.

> [Rings()](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/4102), [loop](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/10422), and [bingo](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/5), for example, use the full-color spectrum without boundaries. These are more plays on infinite color variations on a simple structure. While [tych](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/tych), [disrupt](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/6306), and [unfinished ](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/9281)are more curated to a concept with defined color palettes.

As an inspiration source example, he mentioned is [Gee’s Bend](https://www.soulsgrowndeep.org/gees-bend-quiltmakers).  He explored historically and culturally rich patterns, but isn’t sure how this exploration will turn out.&#x20;

![Gee’s Bend, Alabama residents are direct descendants of the enslaved people who worked the cotton plantation established in 1816 by Joseph Gee.](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc40d107-176a-42d8-8136-d95a90870dee_1500x480.jpeg)

Since March 2022 (the time of the original interview), rudxane has produced three new generative collections - [Giant Steps](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/12643), [Grid Studies](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/15829) (for FxHash x Proof of People live minting experience in London) and [Garabatos](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/19480) (for NFT Show Europe 22 in Valencia). [Garabatos](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/19480) (doodles in Spanish) is a special drop as it is only 50 pieces and is inspired by traditional ceramics made in Valencia, Spain.

> Although [Garabatos ](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/19480)is a "small" drop of 50 pieces, it could have been a larger drop. The algorithm could handle that in terms of capacity, but I wanted to produce  a small and highly  diverse series and see how that plays out.

[Garabatos](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/19480) is an exclusive drop to NFT Show Europe 22 VIP participants. It will be distributed over the next days, so stay tuned to explore the outputs.&#x20;

***Where is your mind at the moment? Is there anything special you have been working on?***

> I recently purchased an ink printer. I have been experimenting with it over the past months, making prints for myself. I would like to get very good at it to produce high-quality prints. For me, there is something special about bridging the gap between the digital and the physical world, so making prints is a great way to accomplish that.

> I also have been working on a collab project for over five months. Hopefully, it will be ready soon. It is very different to work alone than to collaborate with other artists, but it is a different kind of reward and feeling as well. In terms of time, my average collection takes anywhere between two to four months, while doing a collab could take much longer.
