Deadities

In memoriam (again?) of those brave, undead Oddities who chose an incendiary annihilation to emerge from the Hearth as a winged Mythic. May this humble token of remembrance forever extol your upchucked magnificence.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains are secure domain names for the decentralized world. ENS domains provide a way for users to map human readable names to blockchain and non-blockchain resources, like Ethereum addresses, IPFS hashes, or website URLs. ENS domains can be bought and sold on secondary markets.

VerticalCrypto Gen Art

This generative algorithm explores the geometric theme of non-intersecting line segments. In short: no two lines in this design are allowed to cross each other. By incorporating various boundaries and shapes, constraining line angles, adjusting line density and applying several other techniques, a wide range of intricate compositions is produced.

The inability to truly connect can be interpreted as a metaphor for modern day life where we are flooded with digital means of communication but often struggle or fail to connect on a deeper, interpersonal level. This project thus reflects on the paradoxical nature of our increasingly interconnected yet isolated existence.

Using the keys numbered 1 to 4, you can export high-resolution files in sizes from A1 to A4 for printing at 300 dpi.  Please be patient while the exports render. The success of the export may depend on your hardware configuration. If larger sizes fail to render, try exporting smaller sizes.

Underwater is a collection of unique artwork 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.

DOPPELGNGER - POP CULTURE

Located in the heart of the New York's Financial District, Station3 is a beautiful and collaborative workspace environment supporting builders and artists in the Web3 ecosystem.

The Station3 Patron NFT is different, radically different. 100% of the capital raised goes directly to Web3 teams, individuals, and artists at Station3. The Web3 IRL community that were building all know and appreciate that its the Patron that makes it all possible.

As the Station3 teams go on to develop successful cutting edge technologies and iconic pieces of art, the patron would have played a key role and will share in their success. The decentralized nature of Web3 makes it ideal for being able to share in that success.

In Interference, Phaust foregrounds two scientific discoveries in a search for purity of generative systemsan 18th century German physicist and a 20th century Japanese electronics corporation.

Investigating acoustics, Ernst Chladni took a violin bow and drew it against a metal plate lightly covered with sand. When the plate reached resonance the sand would settle on particular nodal linesleaving what is known as Chladni patterns. These proved to be important in fields as diverse as acoustics and instrument design to wave theory and quantum mechanics.

Chladni patterns vary according to a range of factors and can be described with some pleasingly simple equations. Those equations lie at the heart of this collection and perhaps show generative art at its purest: a set of simple equations which give rise to near infinite variation.

Phaust drew upon a 1980 invention by the Riso Kagaku Corporation to bring these forms to lifea machine that looks like a photocopier but works like a screen printer. The Risograph uses stencils and vibrant semi-transparent spot color inks to print a single layer of color at a time, producing prints that are vivid, textured and unique thanks to subtle imperfections in the printing process.

Interference embraces the quirks of Risograph printing, adopting the semi-transparent colors of Riso inks and exaggerating the mis-alignment found on Risograph prints. Instead of plotting solid bands of color, the collection mimics the texture of Risograph prints through over half a million distinct tiles, each subtly varied in shape and color. This treatment suggests mosaics when viewed up close and harkens back 200 years to sand particles settling along nodal lines on Chladni's plates.

Unlike earlier collections such as Pointilla, where the artists had to define much of the forms through code, this is fundamentally a handful of mathematical functions and transformations that create a dramatic variation of composition. Phaust chooses to break the faithful presentation of a physical phenomenon by deviating from standard Chladni patterns  introducing polar coordinates that create a pinching effect to otherwise more rounded forms and an additional distortion that occasionally disturbs these flows. These interventions remind the viewer that this is an unreal depiction, algorithmically generated.

This mathematical and conceptual simplicity speaks directly to the beauty of generative systems. By foregrounding a familiar physical phenomenon, the vibration of sound, Phaust elevates the unique beauty of generative art.

Traces of Truth comprises 500 portraits of twins, each adorned with cameras born of dystopian utility, as a universal metaphor for the tension between resemblance and recognition- asking questions about the cameras influence on our culture, self-awareness, our subservience to its power, the nature of photography and our relationship to truth.
