I have a personal philosophy of looking to the stars and contemplating the unimaginable magic of blackholes as a method of calming my anxieties and shrinking my problems. This work captures some of that spirit.
It’s a meditation on existentialism and a metaphor for our never-ending search for answers and meaning in life, created at a time of personal uncertainty, national unrest, and a depressingly long list of global issues.
I hope this artwork manages to pull you away from your internal and external battles, gifting you a moment in the swirling colors of Jupiter. In this celestial change of context, it's just you and a few dutiful space probes, endlessly tracing the patterns of the gas giant. The answers are all there, somewhere.
This fully on-chain (Ethereum L1), code-based artwork contains an entire generative algorithm where randomness is seeded by time. This means that any given visual is specific to the moment (~10 second window) and will never show up again. It also opens the possibility for unique, synchronized generative experiences: if multiple people view this artwork at the same time they’ll get synced and will follow the same meandering journey across the planet.
