“DEXROIX is not merely a name—it’s a vision in motion. A living destination built on legacy, crafted to endure. Through the permanence of blockchain, the adaptability of AI, and the unbounded potential of decentralized systems, it carries the past forward into the future.” — Randy Kart / DEXROIX

DEXROIX is the conceptual extension of artist Randy Kart’s practice—where tangible materials and digital technologies converge to document, question, and reimagine culture. More than a pseudonym, DEXROIX is a lens through which Kart explores intersections: of history and computation, memory and machine, craft and code. With over 25 years of practice shaped by a multigenerational legacy of craftsmanship, Kart’s work weaves familial heritage into contemporary narratives, using physical manipulation and machine learning to create hybrid artifacts that are both tactile and data-driven.

Rooted in Detroit’s industrial resilience, DEXROIX is a phonetic riff on the city itself. The deliberate flip of the 't' into an 'x' signals a bold redirection—an axis where tradition meets reinvention, where the grit of a once-declining factory town transforms into a platform for critical design and cultural expression. The 'x' becomes more than a letter; it marks the crossroad where analog meets algorithm.

Under the DEXROIX banner, Kart blurs the boundaries between material and digital—stretching, folding, and tearing physical media before refining them through computational processes. His use of blockchain (Ethereum, IPFS, Solana) ensures each artifact retains its authenticity, while his application of machine learning reveals hidden patterns and stories embedded in texture and time.

Kart’s work has been placed at SpaceX and within the Sandbox Metaverse, underscoring DEXROIX’s dual presence in both real and virtual landscapes. These are not mere installations—they are modern cultural artifacts, designed to endure as living records of this technological era.

DEXROIX is not just a practice—it’s a philosophy. It invites viewers to inhabit a new terrain where critical thinking and creative inquiry coexist, where the past is not erased but reinterpreted through the systems shaping our future. Each piece is a cartographic trace of legacy and possibility, mapping the terrain of personal and collective memory.

Engaging with DEXROIX means standing at the intersection—where history is not static, and the future is open to design.
