ripe

XFC

ripe is a conceptual artist who creates networked generative artworks as onchain systems.

Across his practice, ripe treats the blockchain as an environment where art is collectively authored and recorded in public. This approach is rooted in a philosophy of onchain optimism, a belief that shared systems can produce outcomes no individual could generate alone.

His work uses smart contracts, token mechanics, and market dynamics to explore how value, identity, and authorship emerge through decentralized participation.

Works exist as living protocols that allow collectors, traders, and other participants to shape the work through their actions.
