Lights by Syd x ATW

Two lifelong friends who came of age as artists in the early 90s
experimenting with borrowed software and a 56K modem
now reunite on ASync to offer Lights a striking piece of
generative art that continues their exploration of those
questions found at the edges of art and technology.

When a song is finished, before it heads to streaming to meet
an uncertain fate determined by an algorithm, before its
pressed to plasticwhat *is* it?

Syd Sidney answers with six unique audio ghosts of his
upcoming single Shining A Light In The Dark, shaking off the
pop song form, inspired by the work of Eno and Cage, and
eliciting the feeling of a song yet to come into being.

When a designer is enlisted to create artwork for a song,
instead of being confined to one square canvas, with untold
never-to-be-seen variations left behind, what if instead there
were millions of possibilities?

ATW answers with a collection of visual layers created using a
flexible, hexagonal grid system inspired by the geometries of
Platonic solids and the tessellated works of M.C. Escher,
evoking themes of connection and illumination.

When combined, millions of prismatic possibilities await the
collector.

Take that, single song with single art.

And youour audiencewho are you? Will you be inspired to
become one of our 1000 true fans and join us on this journey?
Will you be moved to answer these questions yourself as an
artist?

We hope so.

Thank you for shining a light in the dark with us. Lets see
where this path leads us.
