Tentura - fundamental device of time and being.

The essence of the Tentura's work is that it breaks the connection between the body and soul of every living being under its influence.
The subject becomes bound to a global variable, which is calculated and controlled by the Tentura itself.
This is the work of Tentura, with the amendment that the object of its control is reality.

Tentura

'Origami Dreams' represents me in a very intimate way. It is the product of doing generative artwork for years, experimenting in the intersection between movement, poetry and mathematics. Each piece is determined by a random seed. There are two possible states in the artwork, one static and one dynamic. You can switch between the two states with a mouse click. The prime number 13 guides all of the artwork. You will get one of 13 different characters, and each 'Origami' is defined by 13 random points. There are also two layers of 'stars', completely random in color and position. The possibilities are infinite, and every mint is a different outcome.

Origami Dream

Disobedience to the rule, precarious balance of eccentric forms, crystallization of a fertile tension between virtual and material reality. 

Here: none of that, whatever it means. 
_D-D-Dots_ is essentially an excuse to play, and that’s what we did. 
We had fun staking, assembling, colouring, and then again destroying and rebuilding, just like we used to do in childhood. 
As we worked, the idea of the circuit became stronger and stronger, but only in its broadest sense. It could refer as much to branched-chain amino acids as to the complex network of an entire city, whose elements connect and exchange flows of any kind. 

We like to keep reading them differently from time to time. However, once a work is finished, its author disappear, or at least no longer matters. 
What do **you** see there, rather?

Inspired by the physics behind electrical motors and alternators, Rotor projects varied shapes in circular motions to convey the ever turning, invisible magnetic fields that make elements go around. At a more basic level the work also explores how polygonal shapes can morph into circular sections and vice-versa.

With a subtle hint to information theory, the animation automatically pauses at a very specific moment (depending on traits) whereas the evolution thus far is condensed and captured into the still thumbnail. While the thumbnail possesses lower entropy than the full animation, studying it can reveal many of the traits a mint has and, once familiar with the collection, enable imagining its plausible history and future.

After clicking on the artwork, the following commands are available:

* Press 'p' to resume the animation after automatic pause (there's more coming!). Press again to pause / resume.
* Press 'a' / 's' to alter depth perception
* Press 'z' / 'x' to bring elements closer or farther
* Press 'c' to constrain the work
* Press 'r' to restart

Bonus: put on some tunes, hit different patterns of a, s, z, x to the beats, and allow yourself to envision the rotor become vinyl.

Rotor

Leaning into a retro 70s groove, the perfect art for your space-pad. The input is simple, just two tiles, but how they're rotated and placed, that's the magic.
