:an exploration of other-worldly cityscapes in the visual aesthetic of Fahad’s distinct style with pen and paper.

The title, translated as Alan’s Eyes, alludes to Alan Turing’s machine intelligence test - a thought experiment foreshadowing a moment in which we can no longer differentiate between the real and the artificial. Though first proposed in 1950, the topic feels especially relevant today, as even our creative practices are being carried by shifting technological tides.

a map is a score for a new world

MAPS IS A GENERATIVE SCRIPT STORED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN. EACH MINT GENERATES A UNIQUE SVG USING A SEED HASH.

THE INITIAL INSPIRATION FOR MAPS WAS THE IDEA THAT GRAPHIC NOTATION CAN CREATE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OUTPUTS FOR MUSIC.

THIS LED TO USING SPRITES, A FORM OF GRAPHIC NOTATION THAT GIVES A SENSE OF HOW THINGS MOVE WITHOUT BEING ANIMATED, AS THE LAYOUT TO EXPLORE EACH WORLD.
