metatation sounds #59

Click for sound.

These generative animations and soundtracks are constantly evolving and changing, never quite returning to their original form.

The 64 minted artworks create a series that is driven by artistic and creative decisions coded in software, while allowing for randomization.

These studies include experiments into dimensionality, shape, rotation, color, sound, iconography, layering, movement, connection, language, understanding, thinking, meditating, and communication.

Some of the visual content comes from type, characters, personal photographs, emojis, and the sounds are gathered from a variety of sources.

It's a lot to try to fit into a work or a series, but we are moving into an additional dimension of physicality, speed, storage, software, finance, and art.

The 2 dimensionality of the planes in this work is a reference to Web 2. Overlaying multiple 2 dimensional planes on top of each other, new shapes and concepts emerge, hinting at possibilities for Web 3 and beyond.

We go forward with innovation and experimentation, moving all together into the great unknown.
