Giant Swan sculpts stunning, exquisitely detailed, ethereal creations.  However he does not chip away at marble or mold clay; instead he plies his craft with a headset and controllers in the multi-dimensional medium of virtual reality.  The pliable fabric of virtual reality allows for his conception of movement and form a freer reign than a static medium ever could and produce eternally memorable work.
 
Giant Swan is one of Mint Gold Dust's eight Genesis Artists. He is creating a piece centered around the theme of gold dust which will debut at Mint Gold Dust's launch.

Stuart Ward shines a penetrating spotlight on the world of repetitive form in his works.
A lifelong artist, he ran a successful experiential design studio in Canada collaborating with the world's largest brands who sought out his unique aesthetic. However, with advent of the pandemic and large brands shuttering their operations, he rediscovered, amplified and augmented his own personal artistic voice through the platform of digital art. His immediately identifiable style resonates with artists and collectors worldwide and he continues to create mesmerizing, deeply personal pieces.

In the world of cryptoart, and increasingly the world at large, Hackatao needs no introduction. 
A pair of artists who live and work together outside Milan, they are true originals in the digital art world, both in their immediately identifiable aesthetic as well as their status as early pioneers of the symbiosis of art and blockchain.  Their immense artistic vision has led to high profile artistic collaborations but, as always, they tirelessly continue to create, experiment and explore their own artistic roadmap and the ever-unfolding possibilities of the blockchain.

Bard Ionson approaches his art with the inner drive of an artist equipped with the raw skill of a computer hacker.  An experienced programmer, he trains AI with thousands of images, creates complex models and schema to manipulate his images, incorporates viewer-participation through micro-payments and utility and, like a modern day Da Vinci and his cryptex, Bard embeds hidden messages within his art for those with the skill and drive to find them.

Ben Snell is a creative force who wields a protean conception of form and implicit meaning in his art. His works explore the meeting ground of technology and humanity and reveal the act of creation of art as much as the production of the actual piece itself.
Ben is one of Mint Gold Dust's eight Genesis artists who are each in the process of creating digital art pieces centered around the theme of 'gold dust'.
Ben has received numerous awards and accolades for his creations and is currently based in New York City.
