Dream Engine is an ethereal art project that allows us to see, hear and touch the heart of the blockchain by exploring its sleeping DNA. It generates an abstraction of sound and vision, enabling  us to 
listen to the blockchain while watching it dream. Dream Engine enhances the unique and subtle differences in each invocation to be as distinct as a retina scan. 
Borrowing an adjacency matrix from graph theory, we locate and connect neighboring nodes while sequencing an evolving soundtrack from each hash code letter. These are color coded and distinct to every composition. 
This piece is not just "on chain", it is "chain native" and exists so the code can render an unrepeatable audio-visual hash signature from the blocks DNA.
Dream Engine also uses psycho acoustic neural frequencies. These resonate in a hypnotic therapeutic musical monolith, with crests and lulls designed to interplay within our own space of creation, meditation ​and dreams. 
Each dream piece is reproducibly generated from its immutable hash. But you can mutate your own composition and use it as an instrument for artistic expression. Click play to engage music. 
Use your mouse, speech or keys to remix. Return clears canvas to create your own dream composition. When paired with sister project, Talking Blocks, 
they will interact creating an audio-visual feedback loop. Dream Engine lives in a dimension where ideas are born. “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” today they do.

Inspired by the inherent multiplicity that goes with the tradition of the dish, Pizza 1o1 is a generative script that is capable of producing over a million unique combinations of a Pizza. 

Prepared and served differently across different countries and communities, Pizza 101 celebrates the generative nature of this Italian delicacy by offering a feature rich project that comes in various different shapes, sizes, sauces, loads of different toppings, a variety of cheeses and almost always some seasoning. 

Just like a card game, where you can pit one pizza against the other for its unique composition. 

Have fun minting.

'transparency' is a generative artwork that explores the connection between the fundamental elements of art and the viewer's perception of it. square figures, like pixels forming a picture, create prefigurative, fuzzy images with watercolor motifs. through the use of shapes, colors, and composition, the artwork aims to create a visual language inspired by pioneers of various media such as Paul Klee, Anni Albers, Hilma af Klint, and Alexey Pajitnov.

the use of square figures in 'transparency' is reminiscent of the basic things we drew as children, creating a sense of nostalgia and simplicity. the overlapping transparent rectangles add a sense of depth and tonal variety to the piece, and incorporation of watercolor effects gives it some lightness. the artwork is an expression of emotion in a way that connects with the viewer on a primal level. it is an exploration of the fundamental relationship between art, emotions and the ability of forms and colors to evolve.

**FOCUS** is a 1000 image meditation, and it is my second release of Zen-inspired generative art, following [Ensō](https://www.artblocks.io/project/34).

This algorithm can produce images that are elegantly minimal, as well as images featuring complex patterns that explore visual illusions and artificial space. Inspired by the Zen art tradition of doing more with less, the limited palette consists of black, white, and five colors. This both constrains possible outcomes and allows the creation of unique perceptual interactions. Except in extremely rare scenarios, each token can provide a wide variety of visual experiences through its interactive features: use up and down arrows to adjust the pattern recursion factor, left and right arrows to adjust the midpoint count, ‘h’ to hide or show the central shape, and ‘s’ to save. FOCUS is best viewed live and full screen.

FOCUS has a free-to-claim, 100% on-chain, companion generative art project called deFOCUSed. It's a free gift to my collectors. (Thank you!) [More Info](https://matto.xyz/project/defocused/) | [Claim Site](https://defocused.matto.xyz/)
