A track. Some vehicles. An endless chase for lovers of loops.

When does a work stop being the representation of our world and become art?
Can we appreciate a work of art without measuring it with our space-time parameters?
In Time Atlas 🌐 the link with our Earth shaped over millennia through the urbanization process is explicit.
Time Atlas 🌐 uses geo-referenced city data intensively and displays it randomly in geographic areas, showing the current time of each city, whether it is currently exposed to the sun, at night or at dusk by changing the reference color palette . There are over 200 cities collected in its monumental internal archive, each with its own latitude and longitude values, UTC and DST time, number of inhabitants.
Each instance shows a square of our land, the cities arrange you in a grid that respects the distances in proportion. The background rotates to the current value of seconds which is the same all over the world. It is potentially composed of 8 geometric elements that can be present with different probabilities.
City clocks can be of 4 different shapes; the length of the pendulum that rotates with the time of the seconds is composed of 5 elements that combine randomly but the length of the pendulum corresponds to the number of inhabitants of that city.
The elements of the composition can be turned off and on again thanks to these keys:
[c] toggle cities
[w] toggle watches
[b] toggle background
Finally, there is the Written Circles variation. It takes up a past work of mine with the same title and in my initial idea it had to be the only aspect of Time Atlas 🌐. The salient feature of the Written Circles display is that it does not have a rotating background but, for each city, the crown of minutes is proportional to the number of inhabitants, therefore interesting moiré effects are obtained in superimposition.

Breathe You is an interpretation of the bond of love with another being, an unbroken circle full of light and color, together, still or spinning through this universe as time pushes forward with every shared breathe, in and out. Relax, stare, sync your breathing with the motion, become hypnotized and feel the love. This is the first work on Art Blocks to use only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Chase Mints: Special versions may exist named Birth, Death, Rainbow or Golden. One or more might get minted or might not. Catch one if you can.

Breathe You

Exploring the interaction of four parent colors.

Color Study

“Paramecircle” explores circle packing inspired by the biology of single-celled organisms. Internal structures interact with each other in differing ways, creating a multitude of different “Paramecircles”. 64 color pallets and a monochrome mode provide that visual contrast while the other internal algorithms determine how objects are packed.
