Fold

Fold is a series of 400 unique outputs that explore the diverse concepts of folding, merging them into an abstract, generative long-form work. From the natural undulations of sediment in the earth's crust to the human act of origami, folds wield significant structural and organizational power. Yet, they can also dramatically distort and redefine the shape and direction of the structures they form on the canvas.

Main palettes

Fold is a long-form generative series written in Javascript without any additional libraries and stored on the ethereum blockchain.

by rudxane in collaboration with Grailers DAO

The hashes for the first 10 outputs (Fold #1-#10) are community curated.

8 different communities where invited to participate in this curation process, each community selecting a single favorite output after collectively exploring the random output space of the Fold algorithm. Fold #9 and #10 where auctioned through Grailers DAO and gave the winners the option to curate their favorite output.

The final 10 hashes that where selected are stored in the final script and hosted on the ethereum blockchain.

Fold contains 13 main palettes to be selected by the algorithm.

Palettes are build from a variety of inspiration, from manually curated sets to specific palettes inspired by an artists oeuvre or a select work.

Each palette tries to evoke their own emotion, some are vibrant and colourful while others are subdued or monotone palettes.

A scaled Fold in the Empire of Flora palette with an almost brutalist energy.

A Fold with a high percentage of highlight, resulting in an output with a large percentage of the lines in black.

The other 390 tokens where minted through Art Blocks and generated their hash upon minting, creating a final collection of 400 outputs combining both curation and long-form together.

The anatomy

Each Fold starts by plotting four control points on the canvas, two placed around the central area on the x axis and one on each end of the canvas, assigning each control point a value on the y axis to create the underlying main structure for the Fold.

We then apply the chaikin curve algorithm to these points to create a curved line with 3 to 5 iterations. At this stage we’re adding the hotspots on the canvas, each with their own radius, to move each vertex created through the Chaikin algorithm to the center of it’s hotspot when the vertex is within the hotspot radius.
