Dense bands of colored characters surround a bright central structure. Gyricon moves between an ever-changing browser composition and the still image designed for the E Ink screen of a Ledger Stax.

Gyricon was created for Art on Ledger Stax, a five-artist generative release introduced in July 2024. Gysin’s contribution uses ASCII letters, numbers and symbols to produce kinetic, resolution-independent compositions. A selected frame, sized for the device, becomes a still image on its E Ink lock screen, while the browser version remains in motion.

This work is Gyricon #260 and token #1221 in the wider Art on Ledger Stax collection. The project dates to 2024; this token’s mint record is dated 3 May 2026. The live version is responsive and can be viewed in square or landscape formats as well as the portrait format of the supplied preview.

Provenance
