Primitive Prophesy
Primitive ProphesyThese were originally added to the Tezos network in 2021 as my first curated long-form project. They can be found on Objkt What I am about to write here is something that will bring some information about the project. The set of images are part of the exploration of the primitive elements, sticks and earth tones. I wanted to explore how simplicity can bring both chaos and order to the same generative agent that is creating these images. You can find more on Twitter @generatecoll or Instagram @generate.collective (2021)

Triangulates
What I just love about this is the graininess added to create certain images to be more blurry. This can be made with shaders, but there is something beautiful when using simply “pixels” to paint certain elements of the image. Computationally more expensive? Yes. But it does have to beg the question, does efficiency always inquire something beyond the work that has been done here.

The Wasteland
I had been curious what I would get out of the model if I were to feed it The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot. This isn’t the whole thing, but I used the line: And when we were children, staying at the archduke’s As the input for this particular piece. I. The Burial of the Dead April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade, And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten, And drank coffee, and talked for an hour. Bin gar keine Russin, stamm’ aus Litauen, echt deutsch. And when we were children, staying at the archduke’s, My cousin’s, he took me out on a sled, And I was frightened. He said, Marie, Marie, hold on tight. And down we went. In the mountains, there you feel free. I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

Celestial Collisions
This collection, found at fxhash, is an artistic exploration marrying the gentle fluidity of organic textures with the whimsical randomness of color pencil simulations. Each piece in the series is a testament to the unpredictable beauty of celestial phenomena, crafted through a sophisticated algorithm that offers over 380,000 unique combinations, ensuring that every orientation of the artwork remains distinct and engaging. Drawing inspiration from a childhood filled with starlit imaginations and celestial wonder, I recall moments spent capturing the night sky through my mother’s cherished Minolta. Those early years, punctuated by visits to the planetarium, nurtured a fascination with the stars — not just as distant balls of gas, but as symbols capturing the human spirit’s boundless curiosity. This fascination extends to the stars’ periodicity, echoing a cosmic order and continuity amidst the apparent chaos of the universe, an element subtly woven into each artwork’s design.
