Endless Nameless is a generative art series by Rafaël Rozendaal, consisting of 1,000 unique iterations minted on Art Blocks on July 30, 2021. Each piece begins with a square, divided into sections filled with color pairs. The algorithm varies the number of colors used, resulting in compositions that balance order and randomness.


Rozendaal, a Dutch-Brazilian artist based in New York City, is recognized as a pioneer of internet art. His work spans websites, installations, and NFTs, exploring the intersection of digital technology and contemporary art. Notably, Endless Nameless exemplifies his commitment to making art accessible, as he donated half of the project's proceeds to the digital art nonprofit Rhizome, marking the largest benefit donation in Rhizome's 25-year history.


His innovative approach has garnered attention from major art institutions. The Whitney Museum of American Art acquired his works Abstract Browsing 17 03 05 (Google) (2017) and Into Time 14 11 03 (2015), and the Centre Pompidou added three NFTs from his 81 Horizons series to their collection. Additionally, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam has featured his work in exhibitions such as "Freedom of Movement," showcasing his contributions to digital art.


Endless Nameless reflects Rozendaal's ongoing exploration of composition and color through code, bridging the gap between digital innovation and traditional art forms.
