Erick Calderon (
@ArtOnBlockchain), also known as Snowfro, helped give generative art a public square. His work sits at the point where code, chance, and community meet, where a simple rule becomes a shared visual language.
Chromie Squiggle was the first project to launch on Art Blocks, the platform Calderon founded in 2020. Each work begins with a single flowing line of color, generated through code and never repeated. What appears simple is also a demonstration of long-form generative art: one system capable of producing thousands of distinct outcomes, each shaped by rules the artist wrote but could not fully predict.
TMA’s collection includes two Chromie Squiggles, and Snowfro’s work was featured in our 2025 exhibition Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms.
