Simple and easily identifiable, each squiggle embodies the soul of the Art Blocks platform. Consider each my personal signature as an artist, developer, and tinkerer. Public minting of the Chromie Squiggle is permanently paused. They are now reserved for manual distribution to collectors and community members over a longer period of time.

Decagon #150

DystoPunk #702

Editions version of my 1/1 artwork "Connections".

Utilizes the same generative algorithm but with a cream background.

About "Connections":

As I think back to the late 90s into the early 2000s, I realized one of my favorite things to do in my high school math class when I was bored was plotting random equations on my TI-83 calculator. I would spend so much time trying out different equations and seeing how they looked when plotted on the graph. I was always fascinated by the way the lines and shapes would form on the screen and how each equation produced a unique visual.

Fast forward to 2022. After having an amazing conversation with Tyler Hobbs in NYC during NFT NYC over some late-night pizza, he officially inspired me to start learning Generative Art with Processing/p5.js. I never written any code in Java script before and certainly had no training in visual art but having some background in machine learning with python at least gave me a small boost in confidence that I could learn some of the basics a bit quicker.

I still have a lifetime of learning but for my first artwork, I wanted to start by bringing that TI-83 feeling back into my life. It is called "Connections.” To create the piece, I began by plotting points on the canvas by randomizing equations with 6 variables. Each of the 6 variables had randomized numbers for each output. I set up to have the artwork iterate this 2500 times. Once I had the collection of plots, I began connecting each plot with a line from the last previous plot. I realized that by using the HSB color mode, if I randomized the hue in certain ranges but kept the saturation and brightness levels high with the black background, it produced a striking visual. I loved how even with all the randomness, certain areas on the piece would seem to cluster together creating a sense of unity and connection between the different elements.

In the end, I feel "Connections" turned out to be a beautiful and visually striking piece of generative art. I am proud of what I have created and grateful for the opportunity to explore my love of math and art in such a meaningful way.

I cannot wait to create more art!
