SERENE ANIMO
Trip into space filling curves
by ATARA

The first collection in the series dives deep into the ideas of space and its ambivalence for human existence. Atara and Geneticchain are bringing a unique collection to life that will feature bold shapes and color and subtle differences between art pieces, inspiring collectors to ponder the deeper meanings of being human. Creating a trance-like state by looking and getting lost in the art allows enthusiasts and casual cosmonauts of more profound levels of the human experience to assemble. It is forming a community and getting to the childlike state of wonder needed to grasp the concepts of the human condition in the multiverse.
The basis for the collection is the work of German mathematician David Hilbert. His discovery of his type of space-filling curves in 1891 inspired Atara to explore its unique, fractal properties. With a Hausdorf dimension of precisely two, this piecewise linear curve fills all of the space in any dimension if subdivided long enough. Curves like this reflect the eternal search for truth in the universe. Every spectrum, the one-dimensional range of sound, the two-dimensional canvas of a picture, and the three-dimensional extents of a sculpture are all taken by the one formula, the one curve, to fill them all with life.
Anchored on the Hilbert curve as a concept, Atara defines different distance fields to represent the curves best in this medium of procedural art. From there, a hallucinatory play on colors connects the human psyche and the mathematical concepts, creating a trip solely induced by the idea of space itself.


THE CURVES

The basis for the collection is the work of German mathematician David Hilbert. His discovery of his space-filling curves in 1891 inspired me to explore its unique, fractal properties. With a Hausdorf dimension of precisely two, this piecewise linear curve fills all of the space in any dimension if subdivided long enough. Curves like this reflect the eternal search for truth in the universe. Every spectrum, the one-dimensional range of sound, the two-dimensional canvas of a picture, and the three-dimensional extents of a sculpture are all taken by the one formula, the one curve, to fill them all with life.

TRAITS

The collection has nine different traits generated by the artworks hash. Those attributes are either a single number or a logical set of parameters that create a distinct look. Each piece contains a specif set of layers that build up the unique artwork. Each layer uses the same Hilbert curve as a base and then grows signed distance shapes on those positions. Each figure will then be blended and colorized with a specific set of rules.


Layers

The number of layers stacked up on top of each other; number between 2 and 12.

Low / Medium / High


Background

The far background can be either flowing or chill.


Points

The number points that can spawn shapes per layer; number between 7 and 15.


Shapes

This can be one of the most common shapes, circle, triangle, box and hexagon; or a mix of all of them. As an ultra rare traits a special glitch effect shape is also possible.

Circle / Box / Triangle / Hexagon / Mixed / Glitch


Speed

This is the speed of the animation in the collection.


Size

The base size for all shapes for the artpiece.


Hilbert

The level of teh Hilbert Curve. The curve degree is expressed as a number between 2 and 7.


Stacking

Probability of shapes stacking on top of each other and creating unique new shapes. Can be either high or low.


Color

The color themes avaialabe for the collection to choose from.

SOUNDWAVES

I am currently developing a procedural sound mapping engine for the Serene Animo art pieces to provide the collectors with a unique treat. This sound engine will be released after the mint, allowing holders of any work to LISTEN to their art.
The sound is created by using the traits in a meaningful way, but the Hilbert curves are used again. The length of the curves is mapped to a 5 octave sound spectrum. As the main curve points were decided on golden ratio cuts, the soundscapes stemming from the collection are naturally soothing and harmonic—mathematical principles of beauty work in many domains, spacial, color, and harmonic music composition.
This completes my whole body and mind approach to mathematic beauty, expressed in one-of-a-kind procedural art pieces that can shine and heal your fast-paced life. Try the experimental feature by hitting TOGGLE SOUND above.
