EXPERIMENTS


Faces, 2021

Faces

A truly generative attempt at a picture for proof / profile pic (PFP) series.
Here was a curated set of fifty unique outputs from thousands. Algorithmic faces
are hard, at least in absence of hard-coded features and obsessive curation.

This algorithm starts with a basic rectangle partitioning scheme to get the
head. It has an edge detection component to remove corner partitions and round
adjacent tiles, giving a face-like appearance. It uses various colors, grid
schemes, and pattern tiling to give a robot-esque vibe.

Note: The image to the left was not part of the original set. It was a 1/1
highly curated output using an improved version of the algorithm, auctioned on
Foundation.

Wandering, 2021

CMYK

//Going on a CMYK journey with KnownOrigin

It is no secret that I often use bright and vibrant colors in much of my work.
KO has a sort of vibe that bodes well with my art and it is displayed well
there. I put out a few single editions of curated generative art experiments
there.

Cipher No. 3, 2020

/De/cipher

An emerging scene in the crypto art space is generative art platforms and
marketplaces. One of the most interesting is Block Art, a platform that mints
using styles from artists and creative coders. This is the first instance where
creative coders can actually sell an algorithm as an ERC721. Now what's really
cool about it is the block hash determines most of the output, but one does have
some control over the coloring and parameters. Hisorical blocks (like Block No.
1) drive a premium. Each time a block is used as input for generating a piece,
the cost of subsequent mints are doubled, therefore rewarding early users for
minting on high-demand blocks.

A project called Decipher was released on Block Art, allowing individuals to
customize their art based on a style called Cipher - an exploration of recursive
partitioning algorithm - originally released on VIV3.

Gravity

There are five variants of my take on flow fields. Physics is often a useful
framework to conceptualize what you want shapes to do or what features you're
interested in. In this case, simple lines are undergoing various gravitational
pulls. Every component of this work is a straight line. Within each field, there
may be zero, one, two, or multiple gravity wells, of which each line's
orientation is slightly altered by, depending on their distance, causing spiral
patterns, implosions, or deep otrusions.

Glitch arose from a bug the caused a large skipping segment in the coloring
portion of the algorithm. I just loved how it looked so much, sort of looks like
a space zebra, I kept it in. Maybe the gravity was too strong, leaving a little
rip in the fabric of space.

Gravity: Glitch, 2021

[0x]Ships

Nine hundred and ninety nine [999] artifacts. Hand-crafted by the community,
with a bit of algorithmic-assistance. Those who interacted fed a block hash and
select parameters to a generative algorithm using forced-symmetry to randomly
generate body, wings, thrusters and shooters.

The idea was to create a rich algorithm capable of generating a wide range of
ship-esque outputs from small subunits. This was conceptualized from playing
around with ASCII blocks that sort of looked like various parts of a spaceship
and a short-lived phase of storing ASCII-art on Polygon [L2].

Can you find your ship floating around in the gallery?

0x Ships, 2021

Infinetheum

A space for limited editioned generative art series. The first Powered by Art
Blocks (PBAB) project - which uses Art Blocks contracts under the hood to power
on-chain generative art.

The first project is called Coalescent, with complex patterns emerging from
simple shapes and rules. Thirty six initial shapes defined within a coordinate
grid system coalesce with each other, giving rise to unexpected patterns.
Generative art variants showcase different aspects of the art, including the
static print, base pattern, and dynamic visualization.

Cyber Cities

Futuristic space vibes. An abstract take on futuristic cities in space. One of
the first Art Blocks Playground series.

Art Blocks offers an incredible opportunity for art to live dynamically in their
native state. When the raw code, stored on-chain, is rendered live, the moving
bits, which I refer to as ships infinitely wander throughout the piece.

There is a similar piece of work on Async Art, where controllers can adjust
layer states to change the cyber structures within the larger composition.
