Flowing in life, overwhelmed by colors.
Staying afloat, one step at a time, in a sea of details.
When dancing in a storm of changes, pause for a second.
Too much of a good thing, is still too much.
Take a step back, breath, and thank the universe.

Saturazione

A collection of on-chain, generative cumulonimbus teenagers, ready for their class photo. A fun follow-up to NimBuds (Art Blocks Project #10). 

Created using vanilla javascript, each unique NimTeen features random hair, colors, eyes, mouths, acne, bodies,backdrops and more. Each with its own personality.

Rapture is a series exploring magical seals overflowing their boundaries, gradually dissolving into the surroundings. It is imagined as abstract iconography for a fictional mystic religion. Rapture is the conclusion of a system I have been working with and perfecting over several years and it is the first time that it is presented completely autonomous. The series consists of computationally heavy art pieces, with calculations happening while the seal shake to contain its powers. 25% of the proceeds from this project will go to the preservation of the Ecuadorian rainforest Bigai through Randers Rainforest Wildlife Foundation.

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

Gravity 16 is about movement, transformation and exploration. It's about different stages of thought. From the birth of an idea, to starting a journey, a growing mind, to getting lost and suddenly finding back, seeing the light, succeeding and finally fading away.  The collection consist of 14 different themes, all generated with the same algorithm.
