Biography
Larva Labs is a software development company founded by Matt Hall and John Watkinson, based in Canada. The pair initially wrote apps for T-Mobile Sidekick. They later shifted to mobile apps, publishing over twenty applications. The company pioneered the combination of art and blockchain with the iconic projects Autoglyphs and Cryptopunks. Autoglyphs are one of the first examples of on-chain generative art. The project drew inspiration Sol LeWitt's wall drawings with their randomly determined lines and geometric forms. In 2017, Larva Labs created Cryptopunks: 10,000 unique 24x24 pixel icons on Ethereum.
