[Moon Birds Victorian](https://www.moonbirdvictorian.app) is a project of 1,000 NFTs inside. You can use your NFTs for your profile picture. If you on this stage you are extremely lucky. First come first served. It's a free project so we only expect your support from your heart. Our goal is to get biggest community you can see and go to the moon with it.

Simple and easily identifiable, each squiggle embodies the soul of the Art Blocks platform. Consider each my personal signature as an artist, developer, and tinkerer. Public minting of the Chromie Squiggle is permanently paused. They are now reserved for manual distribution to collectors and community members over a longer period of time. Please visit OpenSea to explore Squiggles available on the secondary market. 

Stellaraum is a generative art series drawn from years of creating interactive audiovisual installations that explore light, space, club culture, performance, and process. Playful architectural abstractions and light particles bounce around the "Raum" of the sky.  Elements in this series also signal homage to Robert Irwin's Light+Space installation at Kraftwerk Berlin.

Parnassus is a generative project inspired by the work of German painter Paul Klee. It is an attempt to bridge Klee's analog practice (often credited as foundational to computer art and pointillism) with the capabilities of generative art.

Parnassus is a heavy script and best viewed on a modern device. 

10% of proceeds will be donated to Ukraine relief efforts.

Network C is a companion to REAS’s CENTURY. It’s a contemporary interpretation of Piet Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie, painted in New York City in 1942. Eighty years later, the most vibrant structures of the twenty-first century are dynamic data networks.

The Nursery is Sputniko’s first edition of 100 NFTs, a collection of time-based generative art which simulates the organic growth and emergence of life forms. Following her own recent experience of giving birth to her first child, Sputniko worked with creative coder Misaki Nakano to explore creating pieces inspired by the experience of watching her daughter grow over time. The resultant abstract, flower-like forms will slowly change their shape and form over a period of a year. One hundred of these pieces will be ‘born’ when minting begins at Bright Moments London. 

# Coding Growth

## Shape 
When conceiving of a form for these ‘growing’ art pieces, Sputniko and Misaki opted for a bud-like shape each with their own unique DNA: different combinations of petal colours, traits from “frill”, the spaces between the different layers of the bud, to “petal” - the number of layers themselves. 

## Movement
Designing the algorithm for this growth relied on setting each piece to reach a point of maturity within their own time span of growth and this varies for each piece within a set range. Each bud-like shape will slowly unfurl over a period of 48 to 56 weeks until it reaches full ‘bloom’.

## Colour
The changing, abstract forms - reminiscent of the unfurling of flowers, the translucency and buoyancy of jellyfish and cellular division - aim to express the mysterious and enigmatic process of the growth and evolution of living forms. Their different colour palettes, inspired by the idea of each one possessing different personalities, further reflect the uniqueness of each piece.

## Beyond the Screen 

As part of Bright Moments London, audiences will have the unique experience of viewing this  work in the context of a physical exhibition. In an immersive space, in which these pieces are projected onto the surrounding soft, curved surfaces, audiences are invited to witness the ‘growth’ of the time-based pieces under The Nursery’s care.   

## A Culture of Care 

The Nursery also seeks to speak to the over-commodification of the contemporary NFT art landscape. By creating generative pieces that slowly and uniquely change through a period of development, The Nursery examines how the temporal and emergent qualities of generative art may alter how we respond to them as witnesses to this coded growth.

FOLIO is a generative drawing system, inspired by concrete poetry and early computer artwork, that emits an output process for a given input. Each output may be realized digitally, in print, or through another medium. The drawing system, coded in JavaScript, recursively packs bins of data to fill the page, constrained entirely by the use of typographic glyphs and a limited mono-, duo-, or tri-colour palette.

*Inprecision* is exploring the tension between the precision offered by computers and the imperfections inherent in classic art production approaches. The generative system is based on circles and triangles, perfectly aligned with each other and placed on a grid, but rendered with a technique inspired by the look of water color giving a high degree of imperfection in the rendered output. The precision of the underlying system is then again accentuated by a layer of hyper precise line drawings, outlining the used geometries and providing a scaffold for the underlying colors.

*Inprecision* further builds upon my quest to explore emergent compositions in generative systems. The system started with completely random placements of the different geometries, and gradually evolved by putting in the most minimal constraints to ensure an engaging final composition. In that way, *Inprecision* is an exercise in light-touch control with the aim to explore surprising compositions arising from randomness.

This series takes inspiration from both the color and line work of Wassily Kandinsky and the theories in the Suprematism movement. It asks the viewer to meditate on the texture of the paint and paper through its embrace of simple geometry and compositions devoid of literal interpretation.

*Off Script* is a generative system that explores sensoriality through the subject of collage. At its core, the series uses a custom masking algorithm to cut out shapes from algorithmically produced papers, which are then arranged throughout the canvas. It is programmed in Javascript.

Much like the practice of collage itself, *Off Script* elicits a deeply sensorial experience. Generative textures induce a sense of tactility, while askew jagged shapes evoke the punctuated off-beat sounds of jazz. With its synesthetic qualities, the series challenges its own medium, creating a dialogue between the immateriality of digital representation and the corporality of the physical realm. 

*Off Script*'s visual language references various 20th century modern art movements that similarly emphasized medium and material through distilled expressions of shape, color, and composition.

A return to first principles. Bright Moments London, July 2022.

'translucent panes' is an experimental p5.js project utilising mathematical randomness as a basis for abstract generative art creation. Similar to my 'blocccles' project, the core aesthetic is centred on colour blending & simple geometry.

The program starts by randomly selecting a divisor of the canvas width & height and forming a grid of rectangles. There is then an 80% chance that these rectangles will be rotated by a randomly selected angle ranging from -180 to 180 degrees. The shape is then either assigned a solid fill colour or is rendered empty with a border width of 1 to 5 pixels.

Spicing up the outputs is a selection of 14 palettes, each holding 2 to 8 colours for the algorithm to pick from. There is a 30% chance of an output having a dark background, and 7 of 14 palettes are limited to lighter backgrounds.

During development I came across a bug which meant rectangles would render taller than anticipated, I liked it, so I kept it in. The extra shapes round the project up nicely as they collide with each other leaving a beautiful mix of colours and geometry. For fun, I also added a 40% probability of circles showing in the output.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

__Note: this is an open-edition presented by Bright Moments IRL during the month of July. At the end of the month, minting will conclude and the final collection size will be fixed to the number of mints executed by visitors of 13 Soho Square and 18 Albemarle in London.__
