Incomplete Cubes is a collection of NFTs - unique digital collectibles, existing on the gas-free and environmental friendly Polygon Blockchain.
The collection is a generative art project which explores minimalistic form in a defined space. The project is visually inspired by Sol LeWitt’s “Incomplete Open Cube” Series from 1974.
Incomplete Cubes trade exlusively on Opensea
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Incomplete Cubes share the same boundary volume and are permutations of geometry describing a cube. This collection honors the process of geometry and form, it is an architectural study that explores the constraints of form in a defined space
Each Incomplete Cube has a 4.096*4.096px image and a 3d printable .stl file available for download after purchase.
Incomplete Cubes are the smalles units of their universe. As atoms they form the shape grammar of their unique world of geometry.
The blockchain will be the underlaying infrastructure of the future. The images on the righthand side are artistic interpretations of how the Blockchain could be visualized as blocks of information. Ultimately these visual studies led to the development of Incomplete Cubes as a NFT series.
UNLOCKABLEABLE CONTENT
With the purchase of an Incomplete Cube the high resolution image (image size of 4.096 x 4.096px) will be available for download. This
Particular parts of these images have been chosen to showcase the simplicity and materiality of the Incomplete Cubes.
3D-PRINTABLE MODEL
Each Incomplete Cubes has a 3D-print ready file to download after purchase. The file comes as .stl file with an edge lenght of 10cm. All files have been vetted for 3D-printability and work with all available 3d-prin technologies.
Please be aware that the .stl file contains information about geometry, the materiality depents on the 3D printer of choice.

FAQ
What are Incomplete Cubes?
Incomplete Cubes is limited edition series of NFTs, digital non-fungible tokens, that celebrates a procedular generated goemetry describing a bounding box. Each form is unique and special. The have inherent characteristics which revolve around their geometrical properties
How many Incomplete Cubes are there?
Incomplete Cubes Collection is limited to 253 unique Blocks. They will be mave available in batches of 100. First the 1-100 will be available to sale, then the 101-200 and as last ones the 201-253 will be made available to bid on. There will be no more new Incomplete Cubes after this
What is Opensea?
OpenSea is the world’s first and largest digital marketplace for crypto collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Users can buy, sell, and discover exclusive digital assets from across the world at www.opensea.io
Why such a classy form of geometry and form?
As trained architects we are observing the emerging digital art market of NFTs closely. As we think it is a huge opportunity for artists, especially digital ones, we observe the current tendencies in a critial way. Incomplete Cubes aims to be a counter balance to the colorful, loud and intense attention seeking forms. Incomplete Cubes is a minimalistic endeavour, it communicates in pure form, geometrical precision and proportion. Form true to itself with its intricate and fine details.
What is the architectural background?
Incomplete Cubes is influenced by the art project “Incomplete Open Cubes” from american artist Sol LeWitt in 1974. His conceptual approach is something we architects admire a lot.
What is an NFT?
OpenSea is the world’s first and largest digital marketplace for crypto collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Users can buy, sell, and discover exclusive digital assets from across the world at www.opensea.io

Why the Polygon Blockchain and not Ethereum?
he Polycon (Matic) Blockchain is gas-free, because it does not rely on a computational intensive and thus environmentally damaging verification method. This means the energetical footprint is extremely small and users can buy the NFT without having to pay the extra mining fee. We believe this is a sound way to make NFTs more accessible and more sustainable.
What payment forms are accepted?
The Incomplete Cube NFT Collection will be up for auction exclusively on OpenSea.io. You will need to set up a MetaMask Wallet and an OpenSea Account to participate in the auction. Incomplete Cubes are available to buy in Polygon, Wrapped Ethereum and Klatyn
What do I get when I buy an Incomplete Cube?
When you choose to buy an Incomplete Cube, you get the full resolution image of 4.096x4.096px as well as a 3d model of it which is ready to 3d-print.
