Colorspace is a tribute to creating on the computer.
An animated painting with programed brushes, erasers, and accents.
Based on the gestures of classic screensavers and operating system UI elements.

I was inspired by the file size limits of storing on Ethereum.
Cutting edge technology meets a floppy disc.
It reminded me of my original software tools: 
MacPaint, Kid Pix, HyperCard, on a black and white Mac Classic II.
Colliding with a decked out gaming computer, running an arsenal of software, in millions of colors.

I hope Colorspace evokes the fun of learning new software, 
the trance like state of a late night coding session, 
and the anxiety of a HDD failure at a critical deadline.

Colorspace

Trossets explores the emergence of diversity. Combining twelve construction blocks the system generates endless patterns with a unique result each iteration. Trossets /trusɛts/ means parts, blocks, pieces and it's my particular homage to a classical generative system, the multiscale Truchet tiles. The systems plays an interlocking blocks game creating unexpected drawings with colors borrowed from the Mediterranean. To keep this colors alive 10% of the profits will be donated to Marilles Foundation, an NGO for marine conservation (https://marilles.org/en). And 15% of the minting profits will go to OpenArms, an NGO that helps refugees that try to cross the Mediterranean (https://www.openarms.es/en).

Trossets

Escher-style tiling of a plane, gone wrong. Each image spins hash-driven colors, shapes, and symmetries into infinity. Fly through the spiral as it morphs between beauty and madness. Keys: F = Fly through/back, D = Distort on/off, Esc = Stop, S = Save image.

Inspirals

Every Singularity is unique. Each form’s properties; Symmetry, Chaos, Mass, Force and Turbulence are driven by data extracted from the transaction hash.

Singularity

Pigments is an exploration of colour and spatial distortion. Each instance is an abstract representation aimed at evoking a micro or macro-environment; from unknown substances, or oil in a canvas, to nebular formations. The pieces are animated, meant to be experienced live. The piece can run endlessly, with infinite output. To run it smoothly you need a capable GPU. If this proves to be too computationally intensive, or if you prefer a static view, feel free to press the spacebar.
