Description
The "No need for noise" is part of the interactive minting experience at Proof of X with KUMALEON, Tokyo, 2023.
Abstract arts, including abstract geometry, offer liberation to your thoughts. It constructs a framework that you employ when your mind tries to make sense of the objects or shapes depicted in the image. Queries emerge: Is it a four-sided pyramid or a triangle-based one? Is the square opposite flat or a cube? What is the "situation" between the objects? I also enjoy using the systems of abstract images. One such great master who created marvelous systems was Imre Bak. He served as an inspiration for this series, which I created as a tribute to his genius.
Three compositions were finalized - envision it as if a painter had crafted a series. In all three compositions, the image is composed of objects pyramids and cuboids.
Window
While working on this piece, I received an invitation to the Proof of X exhibition. During the creative process, an unintentional appearance of the X manifested in one of the compositions. I interpreted it as a subtle reference to Proof of X. This composition, which I consider the first in the series, features an opening window that symbolizes the opportunity extended to me by the exhibition organizers, an honor I deeply appreciate.
Situations
The second composition shows the effect of the objects on each other based on their position and movements relative to each other. Some objects seem to "dance" around each other, while others appear to interact or merge into a singular entity.
Travellers
Among the three, this particular composition evokes the most profound emotions within me. It captures the essence of "arrival" and "departure," along with the passage of time that lies between the two.
In all three compositions, I contemplate the relationships between individuals - even though I never had the privilege of knowing Imre Bak personally - I believe that we were able to "establish a dialogue" through art.
No need for noise
In the series, the clean visual world evokes a sense of tranquility and silence. The ambiance is crafted without the need for effects, noise, or grain, yet it manages to create a cozy atmosphere. It is from this essence that the title of the series emerged.

3D printing
Following the minting process, if you would like to obtain the 3D files of the Travelers composition vehicle for your own use, kindly contact me and I will gladly provide them. While I haven't personally tested it, there is a high likelihood that the files are printable.
Tech
Crafted exclusively with code, leveraging the power of three.js, HTML5 canvas, tween.js, color.js, React, and numerous other open-source libraries (with the exception of Roboto and Noto fonts).
Gratitude
I extend my appreciation to the Proof of X and Kumaleon team, the fx(hash) team and community, and the genart family for granting me this remarkable opportunity. Their support has brought together a diverse community of art enthusiasts and artists.
* I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Eziraros and Hasaqui for their invaluable assistance in understanding Japanese writing. *
Some fun stuff
I incorporated two pieces of Binary Words into the rear lights of the travelers composition vehicle, which are also generative. The program doesn't write out the selected words, so I don't know them either, only if I decode them back manually.
There is just one question remaining: What lies beneath the hood?
I wrote an article entitled "Secrets of Travelers", in which I explain these in more detail. You can find the link below.
