VISUAL_MASSAGE

Welcome to Visual Massage in Arium Visual Massage A collection of 300 1/1 gif art pieces.

View an accessible 2d version of the collection here Visual Massage .

The whole project was designed and created as a Virtual Space and a Web3 site where the 300 pieces are showcased and available to be minted directly into the Ethereum blockchain under a custom ERC721 smart contract. The whole space interacts with the minting process so when a piece is acquired the frame of the door where it’s being exhibited illuminates and a white window appears in the external side of the room. There are three different ‘h3lix’ with 100 pieces on each one. Since the first day, one is open but is not until all the pieces are minted that the pieces in the second ‘h3lix’ are unveiled. The same happens with the third one.

The process for all the ‘Visual Massage’ series was repeated and developed over a year: Giftillism. The only element of these works is the main one of Digital Art: the white pixel, light. Deconstruction of photographies into pure white pixels. No grayscale, the brightness is defined by the density of the white pixels. The loop animation is created in video using the own shapes of the still image as reference. The final format is gif, allowing these works to run seamlessly and generating a ‘Visual Mantra’ feeling using its main characteristic that is the perfect loop. -
