With photography, my work has always been rooted in capturing the world as it is, framing a moment, a light, a perspective.
But with code, there are no boundaries. Physics still plays a central role, but instead of recording it, I can build it.

1/9 Most know me as a landscape photographer. It’s how I entered the art world, found success in web3, and built my reputation. Photography has been fundamental to my artistic career, and it will always remain at the core. But there is more to my artistic journey...

>> the noise you see is NOT added in post
>> it is all randomly generated in the script itself

>> real systems have energy loss over time
>> this can be represented mathematically by injecting damping into the model
>> this enables the model to simulate energy loss over time, thereby producing more realistic and interesting outputs

We at @transientlabs couldn’t agree more. Last week, we just launched our creator fees with the bemorebased.xyz campaign.
Creators earn majority (55%) of the protocol fees generated on any free mint within the Transient ecosystem. This is how we build 🫡

>> many parameters go into determining the outputs of each and every piece

>> in the real world, perfect systems are impossible
>> I simulate this by injecting probability of there being a randomly determined period offset, adding beautiful imperfections into ~50% of the outputs

>> each piece is defined by its period ratio, which is psuedo-randomly determined
>> the piece below has a ratio of 2:5
