Paths is an animated journey across various subterranean and aboveground environments. To fully experience the project, you need to see it in high resolution with a capable GPU. Make sure that your browser uses your dedicated graphics card if any, and that you get a good frame rate. Control keys: 1-4 (change speed), 9 (fill aspect ratio), 0 (original aspect ratio), space-bar (play/pause)

Our brains are well adapted to organize visual data in the form of previously recognized patterns. This means we usually have a very hard time just accepting pure abstraction. In the structures found in “Antennas”, this phenomenon not only resides in the eye of the spectator, but it also informs the creative process behind them. In the procedure that gives shape to these layers of simple overlapping geometry, I look to let intuition find ground in the known figurative world, in shapes we recognize and give ease to our cognition, working with code in a playful back and forth in order to find a balance between complexity and meaning.

*Daisies* is a generative doodling system that draws the daisy flower shapes over and over again. The daisy doodles, with this new medium, have been changed from unconsciously drawn by hand on the paper to randomly drawn by machine on the screen.

This project is also my personal reminder of my first time making art with code when I created a simple flower shape using a circle and ellipses. Now that shape has evolved and becomes the main subject of my first on-chain generative art.

The mutability of life, the endless directions we can take, and the encounters that shape our existence. Divenire represents life as a constantly changing experience made of decisions, boundaries, and contaminations.
As human beings, we are what we feel, so each color palette embodies a state of mind.

The artwork is responsive, and the animation is endless.

I find the patterns which emerge from the herding of sheep and the murmuration of starlings an apt metaphor for our own journeys of searching for truth, beauty and love while we're here. These pieces are best viewed live to witness how the path of these digital creatures' lives paint their tiny planet. ***
I behold the sleeping planet ​| Plucked from the sky | Rolled around in my hands. | “My Word formed it.” | Time worn, | Life stained, | Soil rinsed and washed. | “Our story in repose.” | Love lost, | Wanderlust, | Loud surrender. | “It must have been painful.” | Placed in my collection, | Delicate and beautiful, | When viewed from this distance. | Selah. | I return my gaze to the heavens. ***
