This token is part of the series Composition #86: It is what it is, consisting of 101 unique luminograms. Each iteration was created with a vintage plotter, utilizing custom electronics to control a laser pointer's brightness via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The laser exposes light-sensitive paper with green light, in a darkroom setting. Following the exposure each piece has then been developed using traditional photo development techniques. Each luminogram has been hand-made by the artist.

Composition #92 (Luminogram) #3

Composition #92 (Digital) is a series of 250 generative digital drawings, based on software written by Marcel Schwittlick and built on a base of millions of recorded mouse movements that Schwittlick has compiled over time.

The database of recorded mouse movements constitutes an extensive digital library of at-first-glance random scribbles. Are these drawings really random? What is randomness? John Cage said: “the first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is ‘why do I think it is not beautiful?’ and very shortly you discover there's no reason. If we can conquer that dislike or begin to like what we did dislike, then the world is more open.” Can one say the drawings derived from mouse movements are random? They might appear soulless, perhaps, but are they, really?

Upward Spiral: Process Works by Marcel Schwittlick

Introducing an exploration of the in-between, this series of 100 hand-made Luminograms is an experiment between analogue and digital. These works pay homage to the concrete photography movement, a form that seeks freedom from representation, focusing on the materiality of the medium itself, to create art that is simply itself, in accordance with Max Bense's observation of concrete art as the non-abstract.

Composition #86: It is what it is

This artwork, composed of 2.5 million individually plotted dots, reflects the passage of time through color. Each of the eight color bands was drawn with a different felt tip pen from the 80s. Though originally all the same color, each pen has uniquely discolored and degraded over time, resulting in distinct variations in the hues of the bands.

The work is drawn on 200gsm Fabriano Academia paper, with dimensions of 36 x 115 cm (14.2 x 45.2 in).

The original piece accompanies this token, claimable by the token holder. Upon resale in the secondary market, the original artwork will be shipped to the new owner. Shipping costs will be borne by the recipient of the work.

The Long Run 🔴

The aspect of surprise in the process of creation is one of the fundamental principles of generative art, which typically involves the use of algorithms to generate unpredictable outcomes. In this sense, "Composition #84: The Long Run" is an analog expression of the generative art process, with the unique qualities of each pen contributing to the unpredictable variations in the color and texture of each stripe.

Composition #92 (Luminograms)

Composition #92 (Digital) - 10

In the wake of other conceptual artists, systems artists and generative artists, like them, Schwittlick chose to refuse Romanticism and its influence, deploying strategies to avoid the human hand and all the mystique and sentimentality that pervasively come along with it. That’s why he uses code, computers, plotters and other paraphernalia. However, paradoxically, one of his most recurrent sources of entropy are his 10 years-long recorded computer mouse movements. In order to create the marks and lines of the lumonigrams, he used this specific corpus, employing a pseudo-random, or, better said, meta-random selection which isn’t done by Schwittlick himself but by his custom software system.
