Monument

In*Monument*, Golids signature grammar of cubic shapes, black lines and luminous colour is instantly recognisable. In this series, geometric forms take on a new verticality. Inspired by the aesthetic of Brutalism, shapes ascend like totems of concrete architecture. Flawed, repetitive patterns have always been an interesting aesthetic to me, and where else does one find it more prominently than along the vertical facades of high-rise buildings? asks Golid. The artist is interested in the pattern and structure of these buildings and the way in which these patterns are disrupted by the presence of people. For example, the way in which an open window or a closed curtain interrupts the architectural uniformity of a modernist high-rise building.

**Event Horizon** is a minimal simulation of circular energy fields that are traveling along paths to manipulate all matter within their reach. Various energies are mixing and interacting when colliding in the same space, creating dynamics and movements that alter the underlying grid and draw new patterns along their way through space.

When duty calls and the Departed need to form ranks, who will heed the call?

"L"appel" explores order in the chaos of a battlefield - making sense of the unknown and fleeting world that lies beyond. Randomness, repetition, grids and overarching shapes pull the colors around, hoping to find a sense of wonder through the void.

Following "Dcors", the final act of the Departed series reflects on the fleeting nature of existence, inviting viewers to contemplate how our struggles give shape and meaning to our time on earth.

"Public Art" is a generative art piece with a concept of exploring new histories in art. As demonstrated in [0xhaiku"s previous work, "Receipt,"](https://slbls.art/receipt) the transaction information engraved on receipts suggests that new art finds value in the record of transactions, connecting you to the art. In this work, a color palette inspired by Vermeer, Hokusai and others is used to generate tiles with a generative oil painting-like touch. This symbolizes history, expressing the hope that new art will truly become "public" through the changes and transitions of history.

Tiles
The tiles are simulated based on inspiration from the actual streets of Omotesando in Tokyo. The color palette incorporates colors inspired by the floors in Vermeer"s paintings, ukiyo-e, and others. The oil painting-like strokes are generated using generative techniques, giving each tile its unique charm.

2D Canvas
This work is drawn using only a 2D canvas, without the use of libraries. 3D representation is not utilized. Since 0xhaiku"s previous work "Receipt," they have been fascinated by the allure of wrinkles and shadows, and "Public Art" serves as a study in creating the illusion of three-dimensionality on flat surfaces using generative noise.

Receipt
The receipt includes information on the Seed generated by ArtBlocksEngine at the time of the transaction, as well as token-specific elements. At the BrightMoment event in Japan, physical receipts with similar information printed on them will be distributed. 0xhaiku values the idea that everyone can participate in new art without relying on authority and has chosen the motif of everyday street receipts.

One of the many intersections of art and mathematics is the field of patterns and symmetries. 

This project explores the visual expression of various planar symmetries by using colourful, maze-like structures. The precision of these mathematical patterns are offset by a playful use of dimensionality and an imperfect grid as basis for the linework.

Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that, against all probability, a narwhal had suddenly been called into existence, in a rather peculiar location for a narwhal.

And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a narwhal, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a narwhal before it then had to come to terms with not being a narwhal anymore...

Patches of code hand stitched together; for loops, rectangles, if statements, and randomness.

Exhibition

The artist describes the work as "patches of code hand stitched together; for loops, rectangles, if statements, and randomness," referencing the recurring theme in Anna Lucia"s work that seeks the tension between computer science concepts and traditionally feminine crafts, such as textile work. It suggests that working with code has a material character for the artist and can be likened to craftsmanship. Using "hand stitched" may imply an element of following intuition in the construction of the work rather than following a systematic structure or technique. These ideas come together upon examination of the variety of outputs where rectangles overlap in a balancing act between following a strict grid and improvisational placement.
