Genomes

Genomes exist at the overlap of an untold potential diversity and the actions of the explorers who are given the ability to observe.

We invite you to breed exclusive specimen, born from the mix of genomes engineered in another reality.

This project's release mechanism is an important component of its whole. At its genesis, this universe holds a superposition of a rich and never-seen ecosystem. Yet only a small subset of its essence will see the light of day: as modern explorers observe more and more speciesits potential finally collapses a month later.

Each discovered specie will have its genome forever inscribed on the blockchain where it may be studied by researchers in the future.

Beware: be prepared for what you may find.

Ratio

[This project has audio, click on the live view to start.]

Night Sea presents Ratio, a generative audiovisual piece examining the underlying acoustics of tuning systems. By considering the relationship between sound frequencies rather than musical notes, the piece explores the possibilities of harmony without the constraints of an instrument. 

Utilizing specific intervals which the human ear perceives as balanced, the algorithm creates a chord by computing a set of frequencies which are multiples or subdivisions of the interval. Combining this algorithm with the hash, Ratio produces a unique chord for each mint, with varying levels of tension, brightness, and microtonal deviation. 

The sound field washes up against visuals which evoke streams of light falling across a series of panes. Sound data slowly illuminates and transforms the panes over time, creating a meditative respite for viewers. 

A full length fx(text) article about the theory behind Ratio is available here: https://bit.ly/ratio-theory

- Press f to toggle fullscreen mode
- Press r to record a 30-second video clip with audio. Use Safari for highest quality video and mp4 format. Chrome is next best but can only output the webm format (which you can then convert to mp4 via an online tool such as https://www.freeconvert.com/webm-to-mp4)
- Press 1 to toggle between the generated chord and the closest possible match on a piano


~ Aspect Ratio ~

Outputs will automatically switch between landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16 based on the size of your window. If youd like to enforce a specific aspect ratio, you can append the parameter ?aspect=[number] to an outputs URL. For instance, [output_url]?aspect=1 will enforce a square aspect ratio regardless of the window size and fullscreen mode.


~ About Night Sea ~

Ratio is the second generative audiovisual project by Night Sea, following their first release, l.o, on Art Blocks in September of 2023. Their other work includes Sonatina for Plotter and Laptop, presented at Art Blocks Marfa in 2023, a project exploring the sonic possibilities of a pen plotter. Their work as a music duo has been released on the labels Silent Season and Huinali, and they have performed at music festivals like Mutek SF and Chillits.

artifacts

Artifacts mean many things.  

They are the products of humanity and of machine learning. They are also errors of perception and representation. At the end, they are traces of what has been and what might be  evidence of our majesty and fallibility.  

These _artifacts_ are an attempt to imagine a new token economy where both image and coinage can challenge tired histories. By harnessing the emergent potential of generative AI, they unearth the unexpected while hinting at human-machine cultures not yet discovered.  

Through a process of devoted iteration, we have inserted alternative histories into the complex of ancient and medieval money, thereby posing the question: what might images of pregnancy, of family, and of domesticity mean when minted onto currency?  

Our tokens tell simple stories of private lives but the identities of their subjects remain unknown. _artifacts_ exist in a space of contested histories, displacing value from established, patriarchal power and situating it in our homes. In doing so, they ask the collector to join in the creation of new meanings.

Occulta Veritas

I often feel like I'm alone on the edge where anyone can push a button make me fall.

Don't Slide #9/25

Life like skydiving can be a real mix of beauty and terror, together and alone, temporary but eventful. Sometimes something goes wrong and you're left alone, falling through this mesh of code we call life. You'll never see someone coming, but someone will surprise you breaking through that mesh to hand you a lifeline. It's ok for things to go wrong but never underestimate someone may need your shoot. Life is only worth living when shared so let's fall a little slower together.

You FOUND Me falling

Ancient Artifacts by nico23

Since prehistoric period Humankind transmit their knowledge by an art understandable to all.
Ancient Artifacts collection is the Web3 representation of this concept.
Through this collection I deliver my study sketches and thus disseminate the graphic representation of the basics of generative art.
Nothing is hidden or subtle, everything remains visible and identifiable in order to include the viewer in the learning process, as would an ancient civilization that has now disappeared.

O God The Mail

All these papers have notices about how important they are and how doomed I am and how my world is ending as more of them arrive in the mailbox. I know they aren"t death threats or anything, but they feel like a mounting pressure to interact with the world "or else." I can"t ignore them, I can"t act as if I don"t believe in them. I have to focus. O god, the mail.

I still never send cards on time. I never check to see if I got them. 

Why does there have to be some paper guardian of whether I"ve kept track of every holiday and every birthday and every bit of every season that seems to only exist to make me feel ashamed for being disorganized. 

How does everyone keep track all the time? O god, the mail.

o_god_the_mail_14 #11/13

O god, did I forget to read my mail again? 

This one looks important - these numbers look important - I can"t deal with that right now though. I"ll just leave it here and think about it. I"ll think about it all the time until I have a moment to serve what"s in it - to serve it like a god. 
O god, the mail.

What does this mean - is it urgent? Is it actually urgent or am I being fooled? These envelopes just pile up and it takes time and energy to process everything and I just feel like I don"t have it in me to serve this little stack of paper. Am I forgetting something again? O god, the mail.
