Kubikino is a project by artist Carolina Melis, with the support of creative coder Enrico Penzo. The work is informed by notions of choreography, modular pattern composition and character design.

Kubikino is an idiosyncratic face, made of a combination of graphical elements and colours generated by code. Using an essential library of geometries - all deriving from the circle - and primary tones, the code randomly creates new faces resembling human physiognomy, animals and traditional masks.

Through the deliberate reference to a face, Kubikino prompts contemplation on the traditional notions of identity, similarity, and persona, as well as the ongoing need to establish one's own representation within a community - from traditional masks to digital avatars. For centuries, human identity has been a source of cultural fascination, with the word "identity" stemming from the Latin term "identitas," signifying both "sameness" and “oneness.”

Inspired by Bruno Munari's "Faces," a collection of abstract portraits created using basic geometric shapes and lines, Kubikino reflects on the simplicity, playfulness, and power of design to communicate across cultures and generations.

Drawing upon the influential dance theories of Rudolf Laban and Merce Cunningham, Kubikino's device process for the creation of its faces is underpinned by a sophisticated framework of modular pattern composition. The project's generated output is organised into a grid-based structure, where each section corresponds to a phrase, and the relationship between the various sections collectively generates the final composition. Referencing Laban’s Movement Analysis, each section is paraphrasing LMA's four key components: body (loop), shape (direction), dynamic (colour), space (relationship within the space).

Kubikino also adopts the principles of "chance" and "structured improvisation" articulated by avant-garde pioneers John Cage and Merce Cunningham in the 1960s. The Kubikino identity is constructed from a selected array of animated graphics, rules, and paradigms that correspond to motifs, scores, and ensembles found in conventional art forms such as dance, music, and paintings.

**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.

Axo is an art project by S. Ryan O'Connor, aka jiwa.

Delving into the aftermath of power, and kinetic energy, *Echo of Intensity* serves as a visual meditation on the lingering traces of force and vigour, the silent imprints that persist when the clamour of energy subsides. 

This work is part of the Velocity Series by Oracle Red Bull Racing and Bybit, curated by AOI.

Echo of Intensity is built on p5js.

I said [I won’t forget Sudan.](https://www.artblocks.io/collections/presents/projects/0xa7d8d9ef8d8ce8992df33d8b8cf4aebabd5bd270/366)
I had no idea what that would mean.
That, for now, all we have left of our home in Sudan is our memories.

The broken system officially broke,
And the people took the broken roads right out of town.

Were the ladies dressed in bright colors and patterns as they escaped to the sound of bombing?
When a Sudanese home goes up in smoke does it smell like sandalwood incense?
Do the walls covered in hopeful graffiti still stand?
Does the mango tree still bear fruit, and does it remember our family?

Has the war reached the school we built? Do the walls still stand?
How many years will it be before the school system reopens?
Will the idea that a school would be used for ... school … 
be a mere memory of a good intention?

When the rebel army broke into our abandoned home,
Ransacked everything the Sudanese part of our family owns,
Then went upstairs, and found the beginnings of a learning center,
Intended to giving young bright Sudanese people a window into the world of blockchain and AI,
Any chance they didn’t steal everything?
Or is our learning center ... a mere memory ... of a good intention?

When the rebel army chose to live in our abandoned home for a term,
Did they feel and sense our memory echoing off the walls?
If we are ever able to return, will we feel and sense the memory of them?

If my niece-in-law (who is two –– or maybe three now) has already forgotten the anthem,
and refers to the family home as the “house of shooting,”
what does that mean for the future of Sudan?

If all the displaced Sudanese people are able to hold onto their memories,
treasure them, and someday bring them back to Omdurman,
Can Sudan be regenerated ... like a forest after a wildfire ...
perhaps stronger and less broken than it was before?

_Bakhoor Assandal_ is an animated generative series made in JavaScript and GLSL. The name refers to the incense made from sandalwood that is common in Sudan. While sandaliya is the oil of sandalwood used as perfume, Bakhoor Assandal is the incense, burned on coals, made from the same wood. One could say it is the same substance gone up in smoke.

This project is a continuation of _Sandaliya_, a series that interweaves personal memories and familial connections in Sudan against the growing conflict. In April 2023, a civil war ignited, and many were forced to evacuate. _Bakhoor Assandal_ uses JavaScript and GLSL to create outputs in constant disarray. With a particular focus on movement, the algorithm builds layer by layer, with each pixel in perpetual shift, never replicating its past form –– a testament to life’s relentless change. Like the ephemeral smoke of burning incense, we must embrace the flow, knowing we will remember the scent.


**_Notes_**

Experience it in real time: click or press the spacebar to toggle the animation. In live mode, the visual dynamically adjusts to your window. To modulate speed in live mode, append “?speed=X” at the end of the URL, where “X” is your desired multiple. For example: “?speed=0.5” for half speed.
