The universe in which we exist is an ever changing ebb and flow of energies that coalesce into observable patterns of repetition and harmony. By practicing mindfulness one can observe their part in this universal flux and achieve a powerful sense of connection to the whole.

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.

Simple and easily identifiable, each squiggle embodies the soul of the Art Blocks platform. Consider each my personal signature as an artist, developer, and tinkerer. Public minting of the Chromie Squiggle is permanently paused. They are now reserved for manual distribution to collectors and community members over a longer period of time. Please visit OpenSea to explore Squiggles available on the secondary market.

Fidenza is by far my most versatile algorithm to date. Although the program stays focused on structured curves and blocks, the varieties of scale, organization, texture, and color usage it can employ create a wide array of generative possibilities.

Para Bellum(*) is about the conflict of emotion and gut instinct versus logic and reason. 
Emotions are portrayed by color fields; logic is illustrated by words.
These two forces are fighting for dominance over the canvas.

Under the hood, ​​Para Bellum utilizes a thin language engine that was trained by reading dozens of books about rebellion and anarchy to generate (mostly) non-existent English phrases. An on-chain embedded font is used to render the familiar, readable letter shapes against the abstract fuzzy color fields.

(*) Para Bellum is half of the Latin phrase “Si vis pacem, para bellum”. If you want peace, prepare for war.
