The project
History,
in another form.
The Tickerz is a collection of 666 animated generative artworks by oxnfw. Each begins with the record of a real company.
Founding dates, public listings, interruptions and returns become a visual language of lines, shapes, colour and motion. Each company produces a distinct work.
The collection brings together companies that still shape everyday life and others that have disappeared. Their records remain in motion.
These are artworks, not shares. Collecting a Tickerz does not give ownership of, or financial exposure to, the company it represents.
From the record
One company.
One work.
VOC was founded in 1602. Its public-market record ends in 1799. Those dates, its sector and the events in between are inputs to the artwork.
- Company
- Dutch East India Company
- Founded / public

Working with the record.
The same generative system runs through the whole collection. Historical inputs shape each work’s structure and rhythm; they are not a drawing of its share price.
The website is a place to see these works and explore the records behind them. The original collection is held on Robinhood Chain.
