azurepolarbear has been publishing NFTs since 2022. She loves code art NFTs for their ability to preserve a single output of a random, generative algorithm, and she loves the process of minting NFTs for the element of surprise and joy that comes with every mint. She firmly believes in the ethos and potential of blockchain technology, most notably decentralization and public, digital provenance.
Through her work as an artist, programmer, and educator, azurepolarbear hopes to inspire and encourage others to learn how to program and explore the amazing capabilities of code. Her philosophy is that art, art education, and computer science education should be available and accessible to all.
