Elements is a collection inspired by the visual components of art including color, form, line, shape, space, texture, and value. Machine learning was used to build a library for every component separately, and then they were combined in different ways to create each unique work. While properties are assigned to each piece of art in the metadata, the aesthetic value must be assessed by you. 

Elements 234

The Decagon is the infinitely evolving, always unique, and eternally open membership token of the Decaverse. Designed by Kjetil Golid.

Decagon #28826

The first blueprint was found in 1947 on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea.
It has been studied several times.
Numerous theories arose trying to explain its origin.
None of them was decided conclusively.

One year ago, a rare group of waves coming from space was intercepted on earth.
This happened during the 2021 summer.
It was unclear if they were born from natural events.
Dying stars, black holes... Humans tried to find patterns. Find a meaning for them.
None of the analyses made any sense.

Bai was a young physicist and Ph.D. student.
Her mother was a civil engineer working in finance.
Her father was an architect and a generative artist.
She had a personal interest in linguistics and algorithmic art, influenced by her father.
She was the one who managed to decrypt the information using her own algorithms.

Those frequencies were the gate to sets of technical drawings, matching precisely the physical blueprint found in 1947.

It's been a year since the waves were discovered.
No definite conclusions have been made yet regarding their origin or their meaning.
Nevertheless, the number of theories keeps increasing with every new blueprint decrypted.

The frequencies keep passing by the earth.
There is still so much investigation to be carried out.
So many questions to be answered.
Yet, the financial crisis is making the budget for investigation decrease rapidly.
The Institute of Space Sciences is running an initiative to self-fund this project.
Three hundred thirteen open spots can then seize those waves.
Encapsulating them as NFTs.


—--------------------

This project is an attempt to experiment with two main ideas arising from technical plans:

1. The inner beauty of architectural plans, city plans, industrial blueprints, and any other type of documents of that nature. A study of graphic elements like annotations, dashed lines, grids, etc. disposed of in different manners to create aesthetically appealing compositions.

2. How does the viewer analyze and interpret abstract compositions of technical plans? Triggering different thoughts and ideas: A Rorschach test with blueprints instead of ink blots.

—--------------------

All the minters at the first tear of the dutch auction will be able to claim A or B: A being one HD signed print of their blueprint or B their unique 1/1, on top of the NFT minted.

Those unique 1/1s will be pre-curated outputs from this algorithm. Some of the 1/1 parameters could be chosen by the minter: colors, main composition, shapes, density, name of the blueprint... so that the result will be a collaboration between the minter, Ismahelio, and the algorithm itself.

Minters at the second tier of the dutch auction can claim one unique 1/1. The difference with the first tier is that the minter won't be involved in the design process. The piece will be designed and curated by Ismahelio.

If there are any of these 1/1s to be claimed. They will be minted within an Objkt.com collection and airdropped to the minters.

Heavily dense compositions might not load on some mobile devices with insufficient memory.
The quality of the piece on phones and tablets has been decreased programmatically.
