The Project

Hypnotica is all about balance.
Balance between chaos and order.
Balance between noise and harmony.
Balance between sharpness and smoothness.

100% generative Hypnotica designs artworks where these two elements collide, without one prevailing on the other, like the Yin & Yang.

The algorithm will produce a maximum of 2048 Hypnotica. After the end of the sale the unsold artworks will be burned.

RARITY

We think people should enjoy Hypnotica no matter what the traits are, however for the rarity snipers there are some combinations that are extremely rare and hard to get. They are not defined by a specific trait but by how the trait was interpreted by the algorithm.

RANGE & TRAITS

The range of Hypnotica is defined by the combination of the special traits. The more complicated the traits the more special the piece.

THE CORE SIZE

The core can have different sizes influencing the balance between chaos and armony of the artwork.

MODELS & LAYOUT

The artworks based on a grid generated by the lines connecting the core with the container. Obviously always in odd numbers the models can be from simple (Model 3) to complex (Model 13).

Within the same model we can have endless layouts depending on the ratio of the rows and columns and how the different sections merge.
