Flowing

Flowing

“Everything flows” and “It is not possible to step into the same river twice” These phrases of Heraclitus have stuck in my mind since I went to school and have somehow conditioned my way of working. He viewed the world as constantly in flux, always “becoming” but never “being”. This work represents this constant and incessant movement of becoming through an endless animation in which different kinds of noises mix at different scales. The movement comes from the use of a 3D noise field in which time flows along the third coordinate. This contributes to the feeling of a flowing organic form in constant motion.

Plastica

Plastica

In physics plasticity refer to irreversible deformation, in biology plasticity refer to adaptiveness to varying condition i.e. the capacity of the nervous system to modify itself in response to experience.

Plastica is a real time endless generative animation of a periodic surface continuously deformed by noise (FBM) with ray-marching rendering that gives a plastic look and behavior.

The shapes formed by maximum and minimum of the rendered surfaces, even if completely abstract, can be viewed as something halfway between synthetic and organic matter. The variety of the 23 palettes contributes to this synthetic / organic vision.

The rendering is implemented in vanilla Javascript WebGL with GLSL shader. The hash of the blockchain transaction is used to seed the PRNG (Pseudo Random Number generator) giving rise to features variation in the minted pieces.

Requires a WebGL compatible browser and a recent PC with GPU.

Technical specs:

Endless generative animation | HTML, VanillaJS, WebGL (no external libraries) | 11.1 KB | 100% on-chain | 5 features/traits: [Palette (23 palettes); Surface (8 kind of different surfaces); FOV (in arbitrary unit); Angle; Scale]
