**Axo is an abstraction of the human mental condition.** 

Each work has neurons. Each neuron has a nucleus at its source and fires electrical signals searching for synaptic connections. 

The signals, or in this case, pixels, act in accordance with the current mental state, which periodically enters states of stress, awareness, re-centering, reprogramming, and more.

The work explores the brain’s ability to change its synaptic pathways, materializing our cognitive flexibility and rigidity, inviting us to consider what barriers prohibit growth and positive change.  **Axo** is part observation of my own mental state and part research, analysis, and reflection. 

We are all a node on the societal network. The effects of our individual state ripple out impacting the network as a whole. As such, each **Axo** can be connected with and influence other works in the collection. Awareness can spread and evolve the network, or stress can cause chaos.  

**Axo** opens a dialogue on personal growth and societal change at the intersection of cognitive science, art, and technology, inviting us to envision a better existence and a harmonious network, underlining that this utopia is only a shift in perspective away. 

**Axo** is fully responsive & built using my pixel-easing algorithm. Pure javascript. 19kb.

**Interactivity**

Each Axo has a default state, though the viewer can also take control and influence its state of mind using the following keys:

"a" => awareness
Toggles awareness

"f" => freak out
Toggles a freak out.

"p" => stuck in past
Toggles being stuck in the past. May not do much while in awareness.

"c" => centered
Toggles centering the state of mind.

"d" => disabled fate
Disabled fate disables any auto-state changes, so the state of mind will only change with interaction.

"w" => willed experience
Axo can be curated by the viewer and replayed later. By pressing W,  all interactions up to that point will be collected and the work will reload with a new link that can be saved and replayed at any time. 

"0-9" => rigid pathways at specified reprogramming

Axo’s current state can be preserved at any of the first ten states of mind. If a viewer were to press 8, Axo would flow through the first seven changes, then stop at the 8th state change. 

"z" => scale up
"x" => scale down

Scale up/down to view in more detail, improve performance, or just gain a different perspective.

"s" => save a still

Each Axo can be curated using the keyboard, query string, and/or programmatically posting messages from a host page.

DecentraWeb is a decentralized implementation of the DNS base layer protocol on the Ethereum Blockchain.

DecentraNames are decentralized TLDs (top level domains) and subdomains that live on the Ethereum blockchain as NFT ERC-721s and are minted and registered through DecentraWeb.

Anyone can permissionessly create their own top level domain (TLD) and own it permanently on the Ethereum blockchain.

DecentraWeb is committed to taking back the internet, one layer at a time...

Across the 10,000 Weirdos in our collection, no two are the same - much like humankind itself. Consider every Weirdo minted representative of that holder’s inner Weirdo, a cosmic embodiment of our one-of-a-kind oddities. Each composed of an assortment of natural materials from planet Earth, the Weirdos are designed to resemble the eco-fabric of our home. Importantly, each Weirdo holder will have the opportunity to use their voice to create actionable change on this planet. More than just an online community - Weirdos have the chance to help bolster our community and improve our world, leaving our home better than we found it.
