CODAME Crypto Art Collection
Featuring Char Stiles, Janessa Robinson, Jordan Gray, and Snow Yunxue Fu on SuperRare
Since 2010, CODAME has been on a mission to make technology accessible to artists and their artworks accessible to the public. We have provided unique opportunities for artists through our online sales, informative workshops, exciting festivals, and now, a huge collaboration in Crypto Art.
CODAME is thrilled to share with you our partnership with one of the leading online Crypto Art platforms, SuperRare, in launching the selected works of our artists: Char Stiles, Janessa Robinson, Jordan Gray, and Snow Yunxue Fu.
This partnership is only one of the many initiatives that CODAME offers to extend the reach of our artists this year. CODAME recently launched ART+TECH Gallery, where you can buy art & merchandise from some of the 300+ artists that we've had the privilege to partner with over the last ten years.
CODAME is helping artists enter the world of Crypto Art by providing education, application assistance, onboarding, and marketing guidance or support. CODAME also works with each artist to include a physical piece such as an Infinite Object, a print, or a t-shirt that is available as a compliment to each digital tokenized piece. These pieces are available for individual sale or as a bundle with discount opportunities. You can also include these as a gift with purchase!
CODAME is excited for this opportunity to showcase these artists’ work on SuperRare and is looking forward to launching more artists in the future! Our artists have a diverse range of digital art offerings including AI, Generative Art, Algorithmic Art, 3D, and VR, so it would be a shame to miss out on their talent.
Discover the four CODAME artists and show your support to their genesis pieces featured only on SuperRare:
CONJOIN ONE
by Snow Yunxue Fu
As a collection of floating liquid that forms the shapes of the bodies together at times and then disintegrates into other objects and parts, witness how this series underlines the connectivity we have with one another, in both material and immaterial ways. We have a long-term dilemma for we have a short-term body. Working with 3D software and CG imaging technology, Fu creates scenes of experimental abstraction that translate the concept of liminality into the subliminal digital experience.
Available exclusively on SuperRare, the other CONJOIN Chapters 2 and 3 will also be available in the upcoming months.
Snow’s work is featured at the CODAME ART+TECH Gallery shop.

Snow Yunxue Fu is a US-based Chinese-born New Media artist, Curator, and Assistant Arts Professor in the Department of Photography and Imaging at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Using topographical computer-rendered images and installations, her practice merges historical, post-photographic, philosophical, and painterly explorations into the universal aesthetic and definitive nature of the techno sublime.
SCREEN DYE
by Char Stiles
Let your eyes be mesmerized by this nonrepresentational time-based form inspired by tie-dye and water caustics. These shapes were created by GLSL code, using math to describe shape, color, and flow.

About Superare
SuperRare is a marketplace to collect and trade unique, single-edition digital artworks. Each artwork is authentically created by an artist in the network and tokenized as a crypto-collectible digital item that you can own and trade. Indeed, it’s a new way to collect on the internet, and interact with art and culture online!
Any artwork featured in SuperRare is a digital collectible – a digital object secured by cryptography and tracked on the blockchain. That’s just a fancy way of saying they’re probably scarce items that can be collected, and that can hold value just like cryptocurrencies: ether and bitcoin.
