proven. As sheep passed one another, more random numbers were created in a month than there are atoms in the universe. They effectively created a living random number generator, which caused a “stir” so to speak amongst mathematicians, scientists, and engineers.

Daudy produced and Gautier Deblonde directed a film that illustrated this work – titled Alternative Random Number Generator: The Sheep of Mr. Charles Platts. (2021). (see video, below)

The Evolution Project

Launched in Autumn 2021, "The Evolution Project" is the first NFT collaboration between

internationally acclaimed British artist Kate Daudy and Nobel Prize-winning physicist and artist Kostya Novoselov. The NFT series is an extension of their ongoing art and science project, "EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED." The project initially builds upon Daudy’s long-established ‘trees’ series. The new artworks take Daudy’s collage methods and materials into the digital space. The visual DNA of her physical trees has been identified, codified, and incorporated into new NFT artworks. Critically, the digital works retain the DNA structure from their creation, which is partially passed on to a future generation of

new “seedling” NFTs. "The Evolution Project"

allows trees created as NFTs to become generative artworks, growing, with each new

generation, from the simple, meaningful
