artist tending to emergence

[Harm van den Dorpel @harmvddorpel]

"The works in Senescenence are built on a cellular automaton whose rules — some constructed by the artist, some generated by the software itself — unravel a two-dimensional grid in all directions simultaneously, like a sweater coming unwoven."

@leondoteth Every plotter drawing comes out differently. I can never reproduce an identical copy. The source output vector files for the drawings are stored on Arweave — some have been minted already https://t.co/lx79b8yGGR

Anicca 2, 2025 🔁 A generative two-phase animation, inspired by Buddhist sand drawings, and this one in particular on the Endless Knot symbol. An exercise in patience and reflection on impermanence.
