Overview



A generative Impressionist cityscape connects personal memories through abstract lines and urban structures.



## Work and viewing



Fragments accumulate into a collective impression of a city. Look for familiar outlines and notice how they shift between recognizable places and imagined futures. The Lexus collaboration is documented separately as another version.



## Original work record



Complete original introduction from the NFT catalog. Historical scale, edition and platform statements have not been reverified.



「 In the urban mirage, phantoms dance with time's fleeting gleam, 
 Where futures are still under construction, like a dream. 
 With the solid forms of the material world, we trace, 
 Undefined beauties and fantasies, a wistful space. 」 / Che-Yu Wu



"Urban Contour" is a generative Impressionist program art piece that constructs a collective subconscious of a city. In many fragments, we can discover aspects similar to our own living environments. This artwork is a collective made up of everyone's impressions of the city. Within its abstract lines and structures, it connects the memories of each individual, carrying our dreams and fantasies about the future and ourselves.
