*BLINK* originally grew from our fascination with Baroque vanitas paintings, 17th century still life artworks filled with symbolic objects chosen to remind us of our mortality: hourglasses, skulls, burning candles, butterflies, bubbles. From this inspiration, we distilled the bubble as our object of fascination: the bubble as a symbol of both ephemerality and joy.  *BLINK* is in conversation with our other work, which often plays with time and scale. Here we display the bubble at a large scale, with background streams and fields that reference some of our most well-known examples from *The Book of Shaders*. The effect is the delicacy of a bubble shown at planetary scale.

The color and speed variation within this series are intentionally chosen to create a wide range of pieces. We are particularly interested in outliers and push the edges here, giving the code freedom to wander through a wide range of outcomes. Some pieces are calm and reflective, like the quiet surface of a pond, or a candles flame, while others evoke the energy of a city flying by.

We want to invite people experiencing *BLINK* into a moment of presence. Viewing the bubble at this scale is both planetary and fleeting: in ictu oculi  in the blink of an eye.

Totem is a unique collaboration between Beer van Geer and Studio Poca (Julie de Ruijter), aiming to transform the complexity and beauty of heartbeats into visual art. Utilizing the unique patterns in heartbeat data  specifically the interbeat intervals  they generate unique geometric shapes, creating a bridge between biology and art.

Each piece in the Totem series is born from heartbeat data. Collectors are given the choice to input their own heartbeat through an interactive ritual, or alternatively, a random anonymized heartbeat series from our database will be used. The minting technology behind this series is the ArtBlocks Engine, but instead of using the random hashstring that is normally utilised, the heartrate data is used in the creation process. The data is stored on ipfs and embedded as external asset on the blockchain. 

Every line originates from a basic geometric shape chosen randomly based on the data. Other features such as line thickness and the quantity of lines are also determined randomly by the data. Despite the simplicity of these elements the system offers a wide variety of possible variations.

Heart rate data holds a captivating allure for generative art. It is a unique biological signature, rhythmically charting the ebb and flow of our very existence. By using this data as a raw material for art creation, we infuse a deeply personal, living element into the art-making process, creating pieces that are not only visually appealing but also intimately tied to the life force of an individual.
