the spring begins with the first rainstorm, by cole sternberg

view at artblocks.io

Cole Sternberg creates environmental paintings where nature collaborates.

Paintings are left in the rain or pulled through the ocean. The resulting patterns are poignant and visceral.

This generative art series evolves directly from Cole's environmental works.

The computer plays the environment's role, taking clean colorful images and washing, eroding, and pixelating them to achieve organic-looking results.

Starting patterns were drawn from the patterns that seawater, wind, and rain once left on physical paintings.

These patterns become brushes, sometimes mirrored as in #44 (gestalt frequency: sunrise reflection),

Cars created using typographic symbols and characters, fully on-chain, and randomly generated at mint. The final image is an SVG designed for the 'Arial' font, though appearance may vary due to fallback fonts or Unicode rendering differences across systems. Despite these variations, the design ensures that a car is always recognizable—or at least, that was the intention!
