"Facets" is a study in intersections of polyhedra and interactions of light.

Polyhedra are distorted and duplicated around a symmetry axis, intersecting and merging into a great diversity of forms. These forms are rendered in a light simulation with different colors and material properties. The sharp edges of the shapes carve out light and space, casting soft shadows, glows, and reflections.

We can move the camera, zoom in and out, and change our perspective. From above, we may see a perfectly symmetrical figure. From below, we may see a grand constructivist sculpture. Zooming in, we see a geometric composition of polygons and gradients. Zooming out, we see the entirety of the form sitting in an endless void. We can turn on the animation and see the shapes shift and fold in on themselves. We can pause the animation and see a new permutation of the shapes. I invite you to manipulate the controls, reframe the composition, and share a new perspective.

(During interaction, the image may appear grainy and blurry due to incomplete rendering. This is necessary to keep the renderer running as smoothly as possible for the best experience.)

• Animate: Long press or three finger tap or press A
• Rotate: Drag (TrackPad: scroll)
• Zoom: Scroll or pinch (TP: pinch or ctrl+scroll)
• Pan: Drag with middle button or two fingers (TP: shift+scroll)
• Reset: Double press
• Animation Speed: press 1-9

Holders will have access to special minting features based on their tokens, please see project website for more details.

Skateboarding is a discipline like no other, some people call it a sport but I like to think of it as a way of expression. Very much like generative art, it is very technical yet creative and requires a lot of practice and dedication to master. In this project I want to show the beauty lying behind some of the most popular tricks by using the skateboard’s movement as input to generate 3D moving real-time sculptures // Every iterations are WebXR enabled and can be viewed in immersive VR and AR // Drag to rotate around the scene, press S to take a hi-res screenshot // 25% of primary sales will be distributed to The Skatepark Project, The Water Project and the Mozilla Foundation //

*The purpose of life is to live.*

**Essenza** is a labor of love. The essence of Art in my eyes.
And Art, sometimes, can haunt you. Can consume you.

When you pour yourself into something, it's hard to let it go.

Born from a sketch made more than 3 years ago, this was intended to be my genesis on Art Blocks.
It took me another year and a half, countless refinements, Rinascita, more refinements, and a rewrite from scratch to finally be ready to share this with the rest of the world.

It's personal, and it's intense. A fragment of my story.
The end of an era, and hopefully, the beginning of a new one.

No matter how hard it can be. If you truly love something, you need to learn how to set it free.

"Attraction" is a system that draws single pixels, one by one, according to a set of rules inspired by the 'Chaos Game'.
Additionally, trigonometric functions may be used to displace pixels, resulting in wave patterns.

All unique properties of each artwork are defined by the token's hash. This hash will set all the parameters: the color palette, the positioning of objects and the rules by which pixels are drawn.

By the nature of this system, several well known patterns from computing and math may appear in the artworks.

We've studied the strange geometric images since they appeared. Our instruments detect new shapes, new colors, more depth, and detail. Are they evolving, or just getting closer? More study is needed.
