Martin Heidegger once described technology as "Ge-stell," something that employs and drives humans. Today's emerging technologies, including AI and NFT, continue to push us towards an uncertain future, and I am one of those who create Generative Art in such a situation.
NFT has received much criticism in the past for its speculative aspects and environmental impact. However, I believe the situation is changing as there is a growing reflection on the speculative aspects after experiencing repeated Crypto market crashes, as well as a reduction in environmental impact due to the transition from PoW to PoS. There are also many NFT projects addressing social issues, and many people are deeply considering the inherent possibilities of blockchain and decentralization. While I am a fan of multifaceted NFT art and conduct research on various genres of works, as an artist, I am working to create and present works that make me feel refined.
Levitating Folds
Buckminster Fuller expressed the universe or consciousness as multiple episodes that overlap and fold non-synchronously. The work generated here is a map of overlapping consciousness, and I created it using p5js while feeling clues to the future in such multifaceted aspects.
Echoing Strings
In this work, I generated a vibrating square-shaped structure and sublime straight lines through association with musical reverberation. Buckminster Fuller mentioned "Integrity," which is necessary to create invention and design on a cosmic scale in his book "Cosmography." I worked on this piece with the aim of generating a visual that allows us to feel a refined sense of touching even a little of such integrity.
