A co-created algorithmic artwork
Each piece is generated in real-time through sliders, a fusion of artist intent and collector interaction.
Only 100 co-created pieces
On EditArt.xyz, Quanta empowers collectors to generate one unique edition out of 100 by tuning 5 creative parameters..
Sold out in just over 24 hours
Seeing the EditArt community explore Quanta through co-creation was a joy — all 100 editions were minted in just over 24 hours.
The Process
Quanta's algorithm was crafted in P5.js, focusing on a grid of fields that morph and interact. The generative process is driven by a set of parameters that define the visual characteristics of each piece.
I first create a cloud of points using noise. If any of these points are close to an invisible grid, they are snapped to the nearest grid axes. On each point, I place a particle with a dynamic velocity — moving in one of the four cardinal or diagonal directions. At first, the canvas is blank — nothing is drawn. Lines only appear when two particles come close to each other. Some particles are also attracted to warping points, which subtly distorts their motion.
