Genesis: Fragment Lock
Sixty seconds of generative art by @RarePatterns (opens in a new tab), held to orange and black. Every frame grows from the code.
The work
A field that will not sit still.
It bends, it drifts, it comes apart. Most of it lets go, and what remains holds. It resolves into the artist's mark.
Sound and image grew from the same code. One chord, held, then light. That chord stayed, and became the music of this site.
In the days before the mint, a seed head grew on the site a little each day, toward mint day.
