UNDERWATER

Underwater is a collection of unique artworks fueled by creativity and technology. Using a combination of custom machine learning and generative algorithms, a world of underwater sea creatures was created that are truly one-of-a-kind. Each piece is natively presented in vector format, defined by mathematical equations rather than pixel data. The art can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making it suitable for a wide range of viewing formats.

Rare Pepes is a historic NFT collection of 1,774 unique cards with varying designs and rarities that were minted from 2016 to 2018. The collection was created using the Counterparty protocol on the Bitcoin blockchain and is the first decentralized community art project in the history of NFTs. More than 300 artists submitted cards that were approved by the Rare Pepe Scientists, who curated the completion of 36 series of 50 cards each (Series 36 ended with 24 cards). This collection is powered by Emblem Vault Curated Collections, which shares creator royalties with the original artists who have registered through the pepe.wtf website.

Mappings arose organically through an exploration of generative space and form. Map structures began emerging and with them suggestions of underlying motifs. In this way, the generative AI process exists orthogonally to a traditional observational approach, where an artist begins with a motif. Mappings integrates experience from my personal history including landscape painting, map illustration, data visualization and generative coding, though there was no intention do so when I began the exploration. Mappings includes 8 motifs: Farmland, Aerial, Glacier, Nautical, Night, Parking Lot, Roadways, Suburbia and 19 custom, randomly assigned palettes.

Our world is made up of near infinite examples of events that paradoxically represent both order and chaos. Chaos theorys most famous tenant, the Butterfly Effect, explains how imperceptible changes in initial conditions can lead to massive and unpredictable differences in outcomes: how a butterfly flapping its wings weeks earlier may lead to a hurricane taking a different course.

Wander positions Rhythm & the Machine at the paradox point, building a system that visually suggests both order and chaos, striking a different balance in each composition. Saturated color fields reminiscent of paint moving through water are seemingly randomly distorted and dragged across the canvas. All the while repeating colors and evenly spaced gestures point to an underlying ordered system.

Intuitively you would not expect repeating the same thing over and over would lead to disorder, yet this is exactly what you find with many systems, such as pseudo-random number generators that are foundational to algorithmic generative art.

Through a reduced system that elevates a few random elementsthe placement & size of colored geometric shapes, the direction & intensity of the gestureRhythm & the Machine introduces distortionary forces that Wander does not dictate nor completely control. Suddenly each cluster of colors takes on a life of its own, creating new forms we cannot predict.

Each work in the collection contains a second instruction layer, which maps how the original colored shapes are placed and then distorted. This instruction layer reminds us that chaos is in fact rooted in ordered systems. We can see the before and the after of the directional forces, how regular shapes became an abstracted color field. At the same time, the interactions are so complex and layered that trying to anticipate the future is a futile effort. We can try to understand but we cannot predict: a visual articulation of the butterfly effect. This insight is given added weight since the instruction layer is artificial and not a priori to the original digital work, where all of these functions happen simultaneously. The artist constructed it to provide the viewer this unique insight.

We see the moment of divergence, repeated not just in a single canvas but also across the collection. The wide range of possibilities alludes to infinitya concept impossible to fully comprehend but in this reduced visual language Wander shows us a piece of it and our minds are able to begin to explore the spread if not the edges.

[alignDRAW](https://aligndraw.fellowship.xyz/) (2015). The first text-to-image artwork.

By early 2015, neural networks had mastered the art of 'image-to-text' and could create natural language captions for images. Flipping this process, and turning text into image, was a much more complex challenge solved by 19-year old prodigy Elman Mansimov's alignDRAW model.


Fellowship is pleased to present a special release of **fully on-chain*** NFTs of this historical artwork, containing all the original 32x32 pixel images created in 2015.

*We created an architecture that allows for the progressive on-chain storage of data and images, strategically addressing the challenge of high gas costs at launch through a phased roll-out that capitalizes on periods of lower gas prices.

Chaos Roads is a fully onchain, EVM-generated, dynamic and runtime crypto-art collection.

Each piece comes with an interactive painting, a music piece and a poem. All these art forms are dynamically changing in the runtime.

Chaos Roads aims to explore the relationship between entropy (disorder) and conscious observation (order). The collectors will see and hear their pieces becoming more chaotic over time, but they have the option to move the entropy back in time and temporarily prevent chaos.
