first 50 have been recorded. thank you
there will be more special editions available to early supporters
I'll open a discord server soon
this is not a free mint
I took a few days to process and reflect upon the Vimodyn release. It took many months of work leading up to a sizable “on-demand generative long-form” series on Bitcoin. After a bit of a whirlwind, it felt nice to exhale for a moment.

my forthcoming series, "Vimodyn", is coming to bitcoin/ordinals on: [imminently]
I describe them as "the inner workings of frenetic data transfer"
they are not still images. these are living, breathing artworks that calculate in real-time.
I will address this one time only. I am not "113" and neither myself, nor anyone from singular made an ounce of effort to insinuate this.
show respect to their scene which has no connection to us whatsoever.
I’m very pleased with the final state of Vimodyn. The series feels like a worthwhile stamp on the network. Thanks again to the
@singulardotart
team for helping bring this project to life.

a new project is coming soon to Ordinals,
in the realm of dynamic visual computing art
no aid from external libraries, just vanilla JS
there is no team, no funding, no deception
just art created fervently
The overall response has been wonderful to see, and I truly can’t thank you all enough for showing interest or collecting.
Early on, I was very driven to bring what I thought would be high-level generative systems work to Bitcoin.

I feel that trial-and-error, coupled with surprising results, isn’t necessarily exclusive to this corner of art-making. As time goes on and one feels more in-sync with the system, the computer moves closer to being a collaborator.

The idea that I might be able to leave a novel stamp on the network was energizing.
Originally, the algorithm explored forms with text only. It felt somewhat strong visually, but I continued to add layers of complexity until the right idea came to mind.

Ones like, “Who is the artist here?”, between human and computer. Or “Is it still expressive?” if I don’t have full control over the randomized output. They’re interesting to consider.

As well, with a never-ending script running, this approach wouldn’t bog down a machine much at all, allowing for sustained computing power.
While engrossed in the project, I gained clarity around questions I’ve held.

Once I tested the array ‘Interwoven’ with the system, I saw the work in a new light and fully made the switch. The use of characters and symbols still allowed my system to discover interesting forms and textures with a small amount of data stored.
