Project Description:
How can a world of shifting shapes and colors remain in perfect harmony, no matter how it changes?
Logoria is a generative investigation into color and compositional harmony, articulated through a rigorously formalized creative logic. Each output is produced entirely on-chain using a custom JavaScript-based algorithm, with no external dependencies.
The core concept explores the possibility of creating artworks in which visual elements—regardless of their specific arrangement, color, shape, or number—form perceptually harmonious compositions. To achieve this, each generated piece must possess a meaningful structure: an intrinsic governing principle, logos that ensures structural harmony amid variation in its components. The title Logoria references this principle—an embedded logic that sustains both visual richness and continuous variation within the system. Logoria draws inspiration from a sincere reverence for the meaningful order of our world.
Every generated artwork in Logoria is conceived as a discrete world, inhabited by entities drawn from nine predefined categories. These “beings” are abstract visual forms: triangles, rectangles, pentagons, and hexagons. The first-category being—always rendered as a single triangle—symbolizes the logos of the world it inhabits. Every output features a hash-defined number of entities with shapes also determined through hash. The entities are related through lines whose qualities vary according to the seed, and they are arranged into a unique initial composition. Through hash, a fixed color from a predefined palette is assigned to every category and to the background for each output. Each being defines the color of the line and signal flowing out of it. When an entity’s color matches the background, its brightness is slightly altered to maintain visibility and visual balance. The background texture is defined through hash-determined grid of lines varying in density and color.
Each piece looks like a small living world—populated by moving shapes that follow a unique internal logic. Each output is generated as an initialy still composition, which starts moving upon the first click on its background. Each entity moves through the motion of its internal core, represented as a circle and associated with the world‘s logos. The relationships between entities are expressed through animated signals traveling between them. Signals‘ length and quality is also hash-dependant. Upon receiving a signal, an entity changes its color, and then changes it back to the original one.
Interactivity is fundamental to Logoria. The interactions invite continuous engagement, where viewer actions catalyze compositional and visual transformations within a carefully constructed system. Entities can be selected and repositioned, creating new but equally harmonious arrangements. The entire composition can also be rotated 360°, offering continuously shifting perspectives on the same world. Each interaction alters the visual composition but never breaks its logic.
Such interactivity adds a secondary behavioral layer: an entity can be moved so to touch with another entity, and upon contact, the active entity transforms the passive one which adopts its visual form. However, the highest-ranking entity—the triangle representing the logos—cannot be transformed. Although it can transform other entities, they cannot further distribute triangular shapes. Importantly, all transformed entities retain their original color, signifying the categorical identity within the system.
Additionally, each artwork features two lists: on the left, a list of being categories with the number of entities per category and a total count; on the right, a real-time updating list of colored visual elements (triangles, rectangles, etc.) with the corresponding number of entities represented by each. Since entities can change visual forms through interaction, the right-side list reflects the real-time state of the composition. Size and color of the visual elements in both lists are hash-dependant.
Rather than treating interactivity as a supplemental feature, Logoria embeds it into the ontological fabric of the artwork. It introduces a layered system of entity-based interaction where visual and compositional transformation is governed by a predefined meaningful structure. Through this logic, the project explores how meaning and form can emerge and solidify within a generative aesthetic system.
Ultimately, each artwork mirrors the generative code that produces it: just as the code generates a large number of structurally related but visually distinct pieces, each individual work can generate an infinite number of unique internal compositions through viewer interaction. At any given moment, a specific state of the artwork can be exported as a static PNG.
