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

Lacunae is a study of emergent systems; it is both the outcome of following rules and an examination of the rules themselves. I am often interested more in how a thing is made than the thing itself, and when you view Lacunae it is my intention that you are shown behind the curtain, to witness the chaotic formation and the organized result. Watch as the particles move from their original random positions, leaving trails across the screen. All aspects are generated by the transaction hash, including the color combinations.

Lacunae

The Wrapture is a generative edition with unique properties. Technically it is capped at 666 editions, however holders of The Eternal Pump have the opportunity to limit the edition to 50 algorithmic editions if they can cooperate.

The rules are fairly simple: as long as no one trades, sells, or lists their edition for sale in the next year, no additional editions will be made available for minting. However, if one collector breaks the rules, the remainder of the 666 editions will be opened up to the public for minting. If no one breaks the rules for one year, the edition will be capped and collectors will be free to “move” the art with no repercussions.

Collectors will be faced with an interesting dilemma - should be fun to watch.

The Wrapture

Where The Wind Blows explores gradient maps and patterns on an unconventional canvas. It features the international maritime signal flags and a wild mix of color palettes and shapes. Some are high-contrast and playful while others are subdued and calm. Some are more realistic, staying true  to the nautical theme.

Where The Wind Blows

A simulation of me sketching 100 variations of the same idea. My focus and attention to detail wane with each successive drawing as boredom, frustration, and feelings of inevitability begin to sink in. By the end I find myself repeatedly asking: What's the point of it all?
