History
GaZZZa created the first Zube block in April 2006 as part of an art submission to the Royal Hibernian Academy.
Periodically a fresh Zube block is digitally carved, 16m x 16m x 16m (around 4 storeys tall).
OFF CHAIN GenErative artwoRks - origin Patterns of the metaverse
Using the 3D Zube block as the seed, 2D digital artworks are generated (off chain). Each artwork is an exploration of scale, solid, void, colour and pattern. The final generative outputs are the origin patterns of the metaverse.
The ZUBE Space - 3D FILE
The 3D File (glTF) of the relevant Zube block artwork will be an original one of one artwork. The 16m x 16m x 16m space can be used anywhere the metaverse.
Video ART pieces.
GaZZZa collaborated with sound artist Angel Perez Grandi who created original sound tracks for each zube space. The 3D animated video of the Zube is shot in feature film format with a virtual camera 1.2m off ground level and 42.888m away from the centre of the virtual structure. To experience the pure form as conceived by the artist, there is no shading or lighting. Your mind naturally processes the flat 2D lines of the architectural blueprint animation into a 3D object.

Always making, farming, planting, fishing, milking, delivering, calving, growing, harvesting, saving, cutting, drying and building.
STUDIO

Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Let’s fork some lightning…
