A Bugged Forest This long-form generative project on the fx(hash) platform took advantage of a programming bug to embrace the creative outcome one can find by releasing control. The 1000 trees proudly exist each with their unique character and their flaws. The project was released from the deep of the metal festival Hellfest, a hot, earthbound, hostile to some, friendly to others location, which adds a deeper meaning to the idea of embracing the uniqueness of the individuals ( even the freaks), of releasing control through art, or that of collective suffering in the face of climate change.

The Bugged Tree This work was the one that appeared by chance following a bug in a tree algorithm. It is the precursor of the long-form "A Bugged Forest" generative collection, true to the saying "The tree that hides the forest"

thank you, M September 21, 2023

1/2 Thank you @zancan for reserving me a spot for your latest fxhash "A Bugged Forest"!!! I just found out about it, and this is unreal! Minting your work has been on my bucket list for a long time and I especially love the "losing control" mindset behind this special work. June 18, 2022

I love the stormy, dynamic look of this particular output. The oak leaves are flying everywhere and even piling up in the bottom right corner. Feels authentic and wild, like nature is. — Ethspresso 🔮🚌 (@ethspresso) December 17, 2022

A Bugged Forest #418 and #761 locked in the Vault. @zancan is proving one more time he's a legend, renewing its art and reaching new level. A Bugged Forest is what generative art should be (human/machine) and its best expression. Bravo! June 17, 2022

To collect 734, thought the most. Why Bugged? Why got the trees look weird? Weird climate and financial unstability and another uncertainties, all we are facing today seemed to be expressed by a Bugged tree. & Green represents @zancan the most. June 19, 2022
