Magine is a celebration of nature, colors, and movement. It represents a deep longing to be in nature and to be able to move freely.

This longing is expressed through a vast set of colors and patterns that interact in surprising ways, creating entirely new colors and species of fluttering creatures, beyond our control. Like a kid looking up into the sky, or the bedroom ceiling finding familiar figures and patterns in a blend of reality and imagination.

The underlying structure and darkness permeate the layers above, etching their history into the creatures they help create. Without this darkness, the colors would not shine as bright.

With more than 60 different species, represented by color, there is a high probability that not all species will make it. This is an expression of the loss of biodiversity with an estimated 200-1000 species going extinct each year.

Balancing between light and darkness, Magine is about changing perspective and finding possibilities and joy in a place bound by restrictions.

Between human imagination and the machine, Magine is an echo of nature.

Magine is made by a duo. My partner wants to stay anon.

"Melt Into You" is the story of a partner's loving embrace. When the warmth of a hug melts all your troubles away.

The tight knit compositions bounded by the boxes show what it's like under tension and stress, while the more flow-y pieces illustrate a sense of calmness and healing.

When viewing "Melt Into You", take care to curate pairs of the same color but differing levels of tension.

"All Our Faces" explores the intricate layers of our experiences and personalities. It challenges the notion that we should limit ourselves to a single facade due to shame and lack of self-love. In truth, our past experiences, both positive and negative, shape our present reality. While certain aspects may bring pain, when viewed as a whole, we discover our inherent beauty, courage, and wholeness.

heart + craft is an inclusive digital/physical generative collection born out of a collaboration between Erick Calderon (Snowfro) and Jordan Lyall. The project synthesizes artistic and technologically driven concepts that the two have been thinking through over the last decade as meaningful participants in both digital art and blockchain ecosystem. 

While entirely analogue examples of these heart containers have existed for many years, Erick collaborated with Jordan to automate the process of combining the blocks and colors through an algorithm that generates not only a beautiful interactive 3D model of a heart, but also includes instructions for assembling each specific output along with 3D printable models stored inside the algorithm itself. The result is an object that can live in both the physical and digital realm, inspiring the digital collector to craft their own physical sculptures and potentially creating curiosity in digital objects for those that are more grounded in the physical world.

"In every human encounter, we carry the potential to catalyze evolution. Through the alchemical journey of the soul, we transcend—from pain to power, wounds to wisdom, death to rebirth, hate to love, lost to discovery."

'Resonance', a generative art collection created with p5.js, dives deep into the nexus of artistic expression and the profound potency of resonance. The artworks in this collection evoke images of intricate grids and cerebral lazes—patterns of thought, some so intense that they paralyze, while others liberate, propelling us towards action. These representations mirror the omnipresent dichotomy of confinement and freedom we wrestle with in our minds.

These generative forms, with their precision and calculated symmetries, present a vision both chilling and enlightening—like staring into a soul mechanized. They challenge the viewer to meditate on our intrinsic human urge for control, efficiency, and the elusive pursuit of perfection. 

For many, this quest for belonging and acceptance, hidden behind perfectionism, is a painful battle—a fight never won. Such a struggle pushes us to change, to adapt, to metamorphose, often at the cost of our true selves. This story deeply resonates with the creator's journey. Born in Bogota, Colombia, her life has been a collage of experiences. From the roles of engineer, immigrant, mother, friend and partner, to the realm of an artist. This tapestry of experiences is woven into the fabric of 'Resonance'.

Art has unlocked a universe of shared wisdom, connecting artists with kindred spirits across the globe. It is within this space that 'Resonance' finds its true home—a collection where each piece is a symphony of basic geometry juxtaposed with vivid hues and gradients, mirroring the iterative dance of life. It's an ode to our journey, to embracing our flaws and recognizing that it is through our imperfections that we find completeness. The essence of 'Resonance' is one of connection, gratitude, strength, and the miracles that dance on the edge of the everyday.


Resonance

Glyphorium is a breathtaking journey where the familiar confines of typography break free from convention and plunge into the world of the abstract. This generative art project reimagines the fundamental components of language, transforming them into a mesmerizing visual spectacle. 

Within this collection, each creation bursts with vibrant colors and striking forms, illuminating the boundless horizons of design. These glyphs shed their traditional meanings, emerging as independent masterpieces, each a testament to the infinite potential of art. 

It’s an homage to the art of deconstruction, where letters transcend their role as mere text and instead become elements to be felt, with their well-known curves and lines taking on newfound autonomy, free from the constraints of syntax and semantics. 

Here, chance breathes new life into our familiar alphabet characters, resulting in a dynamic and ever-evolving art gallery. Every piece represents an exquisite fusion of precision and randomness, communicating through the universal language of color and form, transcending the limitations of text.

Glyphorium

RAINBOWS is YON's first dive into generative on-chain art. It's a journey into the essence of colors and form.

The collection strips down YON's usual detailed, character-rich creations to their very core, focusing solely on the interplay of color, structure, movement, and contrast.

A new open “Inclusive Edition” launching on Prohibition Art and Floor on 1/24/24 powered by Art Blocks Engine.

Following in the footsteps of snowfro and Jordan Lyall's  “heart + craft”, “Dots” aims to provide high quality on-chain generative art at a price point that is accessible for everyone. 

At its core the art behind “Dots” is a distillation of the soul of my two @artblocks_io projects “Moments” and “Pieces of Me” released in 2021. The code based paint strokes creating a singular dot serves as an atomic unit, a fundamental building block of my artistic language.

What makes "Dots" so exciting is its potential for collaborative creation. While each dot stands alone as a complete piece, these dots can be used to mint other experiences that will take on the character of the dots passed in at mint time.

The first experience that will launch along side “Dots” is the “Dot Composite” builder. This is a tool that will be released on https://r4v3n.art/ on 1/24 that will allow collectors to use their dots to mint a limited edition series composed of their dots.

Collectors can curate 12 or more dots which they can pass into the composite minter, allowing them to participate with me in the creation of the final pieces.

Collectors will also have the ability to burn their composites and claim back the “Dots” they used to mint them, allowing for them to use the dots in new composites or new future experiences.

This is establishes a new chapter in my generative art practice, one where the medium of the blockchain and L2s are fully embraced to make this all possible.

**a 24-hour Blockchain-based performance**

*I can give you “forever” right now;*\
*but I can’t give you “right now” forever.*\
*Promises that can’t be kept, however,*\
*are often the only promises worth making.*

*I have a deep respect for Time.*\
*A deep loathing, too.*\
*Forever is cynical and mundane and devastatingly romantic in its*\

*is worth little.*\
*Time is all that we can give, everything we are,*\
*my gift to you.*

   – – poem by Nathaniel Stern, titled *Forevery* (capital F; clocks/art are lowercase)


**forevery** 

*forevery* is a 24 hour performance piece, where each participant purchases a specific minute in a single day in 2024 (out of a total possible 1440 minutes), “certified” by the Blockchain. Any unsold mints after the 24 hour performance (from noon to noon across all time zones - a total of 48 hours) are “lost time” or perhaps “lost *to* time,” destined to be never, forever (also making the total edition number lower). Each dynamically generated, fully on-chain NFT is its own clock design, out of millions of possible combinations of frames, faces, numbers, hands, colors, rotations, textures, and more. The hour and minute hands on each face show the Time its patron now “owns,” with the second hand always in rotation. When the “real time” and your owned Time align (for example, if you own 12:27pm, then between 12:27 and 12:28 in your time zone), the NFT will animate through 1200 possible clock designs at 20 clocks per second. 


**keypress interactions** 

f to toggle Full screen w/o mouse; d to toggle time owned in Digital clock on bottom right;  t to toggle owned Time (preview image) vs actual time (default, working clock); s to toggle Scrolling through clock designs as if it is the time itself;  p to save the *Forevery* Poem to your hard drive


**about** 

Time is something that all of us *have* (though never enough, it seems), but none of us *own*. And the Blockchain has always been a consensus-driven certification system for ownership and trans-actions, at and of specific times. It is a ledger of receipts: proof of work, stakes, time, and ownership.


**But what *are* time and ownership without any real-world presence, or material instantiation?** 


Giving and selling Time itself is a promise I can’t possibly keep – just like the Blockchain’s promise of “forever” is a universal impossibility. But in many ways, the only promises worth making are those that exist in this way. Even a child knows to ask, after their story ends with a “happily ever after,” if it “really, *really* is forever and ever?” That said, there is nothing more romantic than an impossible promise. *forevery* amplifies many of the paradoxes of both Time and the Blockchain by pushing and pulling at the tensions between ownership and worth, desire and timeliness, time and being, moving and archiving, custodianship and speculation, presence and gifting.


The *forevery* clocks are each composed of hand-made and iPad-sketched vector layers, cleverly “disguised” on-chain as a custom font in base-64, with rarer designs including different shapes or missing components. It uses a combination of project and edition numbers to guarantee non-repeating random Times for each mint, and the palettes and designs are inspired by William Kentridge’s [multi-plate prints](https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,1886548-2,00.html) and [charcoal animations](https://www.moma.org/calendar/film/933), Felix Gonzales-Torres’ (FGT’s) various *Untitled* clocks and candy (most notably, [*Perfect Lovers*](https://www.moma.org/collection/works/81074) and [*Portrait of Ross*](https://www.artic.edu/artworks/152961/untitled-portrait-of-ross-in-l-a)), and On Kawara’s [*Today Series*](https://www.guggenheim.org/video/on-kawara-date-paintings) – all of them performing minimalist but emotionally charged aesthetics.


*forevery* celebrates, ironizes, wonders at, and agonizes over our relationships to Time, ourselves, and each other. It promises both nothing and everything: *this Time is your Time*, and it will last forever (or at least as long as the Blockchain exists and functions). Like ownership more generally, such possession is only what we collectively believe it to be, and how ownership is realized, too, changes over time. How might we hold on to now, forever? What would that look and feel like? It's romantic, cynical, childish, hopeful, wise, and more, and less.


**Time is all that we can give, everything we are,**
**my gift to you.**

"Runes of Destiny" is a fascinating generative artwork that intertwines the magic of blockchain technology with the ancient traditions of rune reading. In a unique process known as minting, a random attribute from the realms of health, wealth, family, cryptocurrency, future, love, profession, relaxation, and spirituality is inscribed on the blockchain. Each of these attributes serves as a key to an individual destiny, manifested through the artwork.

The artwork is created as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), with each token being assigned a personal key. This key serves as the link to the owner's personal destiny, represented by the randomly selected attribute.

The runes adorning the artwork are not merely aesthetic elements but also bear profound symbolic significance. Each rune represents a specific power or attribute that will be bestowed upon the owner in varying degrees. By manifesting the associated word, these powers are activated, supporting the owner on their life journey.

By combining blockchain technology, generative art, and the spiritual concepts of rune reading, "Runes of Destiny" emerges as an artwork that is not only visually appealing but also offers a personal and transformative experience for the owner. It invites exploration of the connection between technology and spirituality and encourages the discovery of the power of individual destiny.

In a garden of electric dreams they sway,
NeonBlooms ignite the night in a ballet,
Their petals shimmer with a vibrant glow,
As rhythms of the city start to flow.

Amidst the dark, they come alive in hue,
Each step they take, a mesmerizing view,
Their movements fluid, like a whispered song,
In the dance of light, they truly belong.

With every leap, they paint the air with light,
A symphony of colors, oh so bright,
They twirl and spin in a celestial trance,
Captivating all who dare to glance.

In this nocturnal ballroom, they reign supreme,
Dancing NeonBlooms, a dazzling theme,
Their beauty transient, yet eternally gleams,
In the rhythm of the night, they find their dreams.

"Resonance" explores the integration of movement and arrangement through generative study. Thousands of square or ellipse shapes converge, shifting according to algorithmic directives to form the abstract pattern. Inspired by the gates and portals depicted in cyberpunk artworks,

Colors are created based on algorithms, and their styles range from tonal to multi-colored. The inspiration from cyberpunk elements made it possible for the final structure to take on an epic and, at the same time, visually dynamic pattern. 
Dynamic effects emerge through the emphasis and repetition of particles across various sections of the canvas to enrich the composition's complexity.






In an era where technology and art are increasingly merging, the artwork "Can You See It" initiates a fascinating discussion about subjective perception in generative art. By employing an algorithm, it creates forms and colors that grant every viewer the freedom to explore their own interpretation.

*In this project, the algorithm in each variation is not the same as the others. In fact, each hash provides a unique algorithm.
This project is in the form of an animation. In this project, four types of algorithms are designed for the distribution of rectangles within the page, and an algorithm is implemented for the color selection and distribution of lines on the page.
**My suggestion is to open the final project image in a new page and examine the project details.
I hope that every minter will be satisfied with the algorithm they obtain.

Every living being is destained to explore the truth of the universe. Like all the creatures in the world shaping their own path to attain the truth of their existence in every tangible situation, the art of The POTTERY shapes the formless clay bond into a purposeful vessel that can carry something into it with its spinning wheels. 

" Vessel " the Pottery soul is a piece of work that evolves with the formless clay, similar to any being in the universe through various stages of evolution that can find its own space for existence. The artist visualizes the soul grooming effects through each piece of work rendered. 

The stages of potteries 

Raw clay stage 
               Raw clay stage is similar to the formless confirmation of a being's existence in this world, the purpose of the soul starts with it, to thrive through the established universe as soft and easy yet to be handled with care. For few, the journey can be a feather touched molding. For few its a highly restricted and protective one, only to promise you to strive through the next stage. 

Leather hard stage 
               Leather hard stage is like a child out of the womb naive and ready to be built to embrace the world with all elegance. One can be handled and crafted by a highly skilled or worth living craftsman or be throne & drilled through hardships with few learnings. A dream or a form is reached but not yet seeked, as it's not yet rigid. One learns worldly pleasures to express emotions and the world will try imposing its vision to shape up this softened being. 



Bone dry stage of pottery
                Bone dry stage of pottery lets understand clay pottery in a shape but yet in a rough and raw unpolished period of becoming a vessel.  you are ready to take the vessel to holding the soul's purpose in an untamed way. One has learned the skills to live but not tamed to perceive wisdom to know the truth as a messenger uses a pottery in this stage it eventually weathers hence its not an end but one is ready for the first heated testing of perseverance. 

Bisqued stage
               Bisqued stage finishes the shaping and the pottery is hardened in high temperature only to turn it into a usable vessel likewise any hardships one faces in the struggle of existence makes your purpose and goal visible. The fire testing situation lets you expel all down turning emotions of fear, anger, greed and so on. One sheds the heavy feathers of. negativity to lighten themselves to fly through the air of positivity. After this stage pottery is usable but not yet admired. 


Polishing stage 
               Polishing is the stage where the pottery is fully groomed with further rubs and touch ups. This is the stage where the living being's purpose is recognized by the world around.

Colliding is not only about the collision of particles and the resulting fleeting chaos and new particles from their destruction, but also about the of creation by destruction. Some forms are fluid and graceful, some have holes, some are rough and some are even sharp.

The artwork is an attempt to organise chaos and the divine play of creation through the means of decomposition and destruction. I hope you enjoy as much as I see the controlled chaos that creates and generates complex interconnectedness.

This project was born a long time ago and has been transformed many times. It was once total chaos and I loved it, but it was too much. Over time, the project has taken shape of constructiveness, interconnections, and a more complete concept.

I was primarily inspired by the ability to draw abstract shapes that look like they are exploding

This project is interactive. You need to click once on the page first, and then you can move inside the project using the keys A, D, S, W, and by moving the mouse on the page.

Note: your camera and viewing angle move along with the train. The keys A, S, D, W are used to move further from the train, move forward, move left, and move right, respectively.

If you only want to observe the train movement as an animation, there's no need to click on the page. The animation runs automatically.
------
This city contains elements such as:

1- Train: The main element you see in this project is the train. It's essentially a compartmentalized train where you can observe two bunk beds in each compartment. You can also sit by the window inside the compartment to enjoy the scenery outside the train.
You can observe the train tracks alongside the train, as well as other elements. In different variations, you can notice differences in these elements. For example, there are lights around the train at night, or in another variation, a canopy might be placed over the train to prevent damage to the train.


2- Urban Elements: These elements are essentially buildings, trees, and mills that are seen in the rural-urban environment, which are usually a passage for trains.
Please note that the train is actually elevated above the city level, so in most viewing angles, you are observing the city from above.

------

The main states in this city involve changes in ambient lighting based on the time of day. Essentially, you can observe four main lighting conditions in this city.

You can navigate within the city and freely explore the cityscape yourself, or simply relax and watch the train's movement animation within the city.

G-Sketch is Generative art of geometric shapes with varying gradient colors is a creative approach that uses algorithms and code to produce visually appealing and diverse artworks. In this form of art, different geometric shapes, such as squares, circles, triangles, and polygons, are dynamically generated and arranged on a canvas using mathematical formulas and randomization techniques.

One of the key features of this art style is the use of gradient colors. Gradients transition smoothly from one color to another, creating a harmonious blend of hues. The colors may be selected randomly or follow specific color schemes, adding depth and dimension to the shapes. Varying the gradient colors within the shapes or across the entire composition adds complexity and richness to the visual experience.

Ortiz Rodrigo

## **Preface**
Hello, I'm Ortiz, a 16-year-old boy from the small town of Chieti in Italy, and this is my first venture into generative art.
My dream is to attend Politecnico di Milano to study design and eventually start my own business.

At the beginning of 2022, I encountered the concept of generative art for the first time. I couldn't imagine that using just code could create such unimaginable artworks that even a brush couldn't replicate. The incredible art fascinated me so much that I decided to dive headfirst into it. For the past two years, I've been studying generative coding, p5js, threejs, glsl, and much more, aiming to leave my mark on the digital canvas.

Now, after two years of fruitful exploration of generative coding, I present my first piece of work. I worked on this piece during my free time throughout the past year, and I believe it will resonate with someone who appreciates it.


## **Inspiration**
*"Mathematik ist die Königin der Wissenschaften, und Arithmetik ist die Königin der Mathematik"* - Carl Friedrich Gauss

"Mathematics is the queen of sciences, and arithmetic is the queen of mathematics," proclaims this quote from the famous German mathematician. But what if I tell you that mathematics is something much greater?

Long before our time, Pythagoras contemplated the patterns in nature, much like harmonies in music, deriving from numbers as the fundamental essence of everything. He believed that mathematics permeates everything around us, omnipresent and not just the queen of all sciences but the empress of the cosmos. Later, many prominent figures in art and science embraced his ideas, including Turing, Plato, Haeckel, Zeising, and, of course, Leonardo Fibonacci. It was Fibonacci who first showed the remarkable harmony between mathematics and nature. The spiral named in his honor literally permeates everything around us: the horns of animals, the shells of mollusks, even the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem. All these seemingly complex patterns, it turns out, follow a simple equation.

Contemplating this, I decided that sooner or later, I would undoubtedly continue their work and reflect the beauty of mathematics on my canvas. Reflecting on where to begin my exploration, I encountered the fascinating phenomenon of mathematical form - the fractal.

A fractal is a self-repeating form, meaning the same basic form appears again and again. In other words, if you zoom in or out, the same form is visible everywhere. These self-similar cyclic mathematical constructions with fractal dimension occur quite often, especially among plants. The most well-known example is the fern.

Similar fern-like patterns are also found in many plants (broccoli, Romanesco cabbage, tree branches, and leaves of plants), animals (mosses, corals, hydrozoa, sea stars, sea urchins), and even in the branching structure of blood vessels and bronchi in animals and humans. As you can see, fractals are literally ubiquitous. That's why I couldn't ignore this amazing and enchanting form of mathematical revelation.

## **Project philosophy**
Welcome to the world of the boundless beauty of the Mandelbrot fractal, where mathematics transforms into art.

In this exploration, I approached the Mandelbrot fractal as if it were a picturesque, infinite landscape embodying the harmony between chaos and order, nature, and mathematics. Delving into the study of the fractal, one can capture striking similarities between the patterns and the world around us. Some may see turbulent river whirlpools in the pattern, some may see lightning bolts in the endless sky, and some may see a blossoming branch of sakura, endowing everyone with its incredible beauty, but hardly anyone will remain indifferent to such a wonderful image described by all one equation: “z = z² + c”.

Each line of this code is not just a command but an invisible hand inspired by nature itself, creating paintings where space and time dance in harmony. Every curve, every shadow, every color shift is the result of long hours of creativity and interaction with the boundless beauty of the Mandelbrot pattern. 

Fractal Symphony is an immersion into a virtual space where infinite spirals and captivating patterns become the protagonists of each canvas. Fractal Symphony is a journey into the boundless world of shapes and colors, where the boundaries between mathematics and aesthetics blur. Fractal Symphony is the visualization of the harmony between precise calculations and the chaotic beauty of the universe that surrounds us.

## **Live Render Controls and Settings**
  If you feel like experimenting manually, finding your own fractal points, and adjusting them, I've provided full control over the canvas and fractal configuration.

- **Menu Access:**
  Click the arrow in the upper-left corner to open the menu. Here, you can export the fractal image in JPG format, edit and copy the current fractal configuration, paste a new fractal configuration, and reset the editing if needed.

- **Image Manipulation:**
  Press 1 to explore a new fractal area.
  Press 2 to change the shape of the fractal petals.
  Press 3 to change the fractal color scheme.
  Press spacebar to make the token static.

- **Canvas Manipulation:**
  You can interact with the canvas by using either the mouse or the keyboard.
  Use W, A, S, D, Q, E to move around the canvas. 
  Mouse scroll controls zoom.

- **Infinite Gallery Mode:**
  Press 0 to toggle the infinite gallery mode. New fractals will be generated one after another, replacing the previous ones.

Since my father became visually impaired, my family has found itself in a rather challenging financial situation. I wholeheartedly appreciate everyone who supports me as an author and acquires tokens of Fractal Symphony. It means a lot to me. With your help, I hope to accumulate enough funds for my father's surgery. That would be wonderful.

I wish good health to everyone who reads this and their loved ones!
