Infinite Garden, 2025

Nguyen Wahed presents Infinite Garden, a solo exhibition by Leander Herzog in New York. Beginning March 17, the standalone installation transforms the concept of digital materiality through an ever-shifting botanical ecosystem on blockchain where no single moment repeats itself. Herzog's new work employs blockchain affordances as a creative medium, building a space where collectors become active participants in the cultivation of living digital flora - works conceived collectively through a smart contract. Each element exists in a state of perpetual evolution, responding to temporal conditions including diurnal cycles and seasonal progressions.

• Infinite Garden is an open edition on Shape, beginning on 17 March.
• First mint generates a composition of various flowers for 0.007 ETH.
• More flowers can be added for 0.001 ETH.

• Flowers can be gifted to other collectors and merged into a new garden.
• To gift or move a flower, click on the flower in the drop-down.
• OpenSea facilitates the acquisition of flowers on secondary needs to diversify existing gardens.

Infinite Garden invites the audience to root for blockchain not merely as a transactional framework but as an expressive medium with distinct properties for generative art. Presented in partnership with Shape, and supported by OpenSea. 50% of the proceeds are donated to Protocol Guild, a collective funding mechanism for Ethereum core protocol maintainers.
