Each of the 497 Quines is a self-replicating code artwork where the visual pattern contains the actual program that generated it. Rather than creating the artwork directly, the main generator constructs a much smaller, specialized program that produces the visual output, including a layout of its own source code into the work, as well as the mechanism to reproduce itself. Some reproduce themselves exactly, others cycle through multiple iterations before returning to their original state, and a rare few generate unlimited variations without ever looping back.

Collectors who own Quines that cycle through multiple iterations can use Art Blocks' post params feature to select which iteration displays as their piece's main image on marketplaces and galleries. This on-chain selection can be changed at any time after purchase.
