Petrography Case #158

Spacetime grips mass, telling it how to move... Mass grips spacetime, telling it how to curve.
      John Archibald Wheeler

Spatial Curvatures captures the powerful and mysterious essence of the universe, depicting the phenomena of gravitational lensing, the spacetime continuum, and the space fabric. The main focus of this piece is the visualization of the warping, bending, and fracturing of light and space fabric caused by gravity. The viewer can see how the fabric of spacetime is affected by the presence of matter and energy, and how this in turn affects the motion of objects within the universe. 

In creating this artwork, a particle system was utilized to create the spacetime fabric, and various shaders were used to visualize how gravity can warp, bend, and fracture the fabric and light.

Due to differences in how shaders operate in different engines, there may be slight differences between the preview image and the live-rendered output. 

Made with p5js and custom glsl shaders.

Spatial Curvatures #50

I'm sure you know what Suma is about. You could say it in English sum, and then it's an elementary arithmetical problem, the total amount of something that exists. 

Suma system is divided in two equal parts, displayed side by side. Symbolic surface areas are given the exact same quantity of resources, just look at the numbers. But they don't appear to be alike or identical.  Differing points of advantage or disadvantage are highlighted by structural glowing barrier. Constant challenging movements are fixing the system, striving to achieve equilibrium. 

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.
 James Baldwin

Suma is part of YOU TOPIA exhibition, presented by VerticalCrypto Art at The NFT Gallery in London and New York.

A boundary-pushing NFT art project created by Random International and Danil Krivoruchko, produced by Pace Verso and Snark.art on the OG.Art platform. 

It consists of two major interrelated parts: a collection of 990 dynamic NFTs and a generative video sculpture entitled the Mother Flock. Each LIOM NFT is a 3D-video interactive artwork that keeps developing after its sale. The complex evolutionary process here depends on NFT collectors behaviours and their wallet contents. Evolution Mechanics in the LIOM project reward the holding of LIOM NFTs, rather than the typical flipping so common in the NFT space. In the owners wallet, LIOM NFTs can also get special traits from several dozens of major NFT collections. In this context, LIOM can be viewed as a representation of wide-spanning NFT market dynamics.


Life in Our Minds

This one-of-a-kind LIOM NFT reflects its interactions with other NFTs from major collections in its previous owners wallets. Simultaneously it is a part of a generative video sculpture entitled the Mother Flock. Until the collection is locked, this NFT may continue to evolve in his new collector's wallet. Find more info on OG.Art.
