I’m working on a concept art gallery for app icons: https://001.graphics

I think app icons are an underrated artistic format, but they’ve only been used for product logos. I made 001 to explore the idea of turning them into an open-ended creative canvas. There are 99 “exhibit spaces” in the gallery, and artists can claim an exhibit to install art within. Visitors purchase limited-edition copies of pieces to display as the app’s icon, the art’s native format.

It’s a real-money marketplace too - the app makes money by taking commission of sales (Not crypto). I like economic simulation games and I think the constraints here could be interesting.

I’m currently looking for artists to exhibit in the gallery, if anyone is interested, or knows someone who may be, please let me know!

This is a really cool idea. So the pieces that are on display are able to be bought and used as the icon to the app? I think I get what you mean but I'm not sure. And these are... not NFTs right?
