Hyperbolic Visions on Bitcoin
In the early 90s, I worked in a pioneering team on information visualization, using visual structures to map complex information. One particular invention utilized hyperbolic geometry to visualize large tree structures. Even then, it occurred to me that there was vast potential for generative art, but startups, babies, and life pulled my focus elsewhere.
The Genesis of Hyperbolic Art
Stepping back, in 1958, Escher glimpsed the path to "capture infinity," a lifetime quest, in a figure sent to him by geometer H.S.M. Coxeter that portrayed hyperbolic geometry. It inspired the Circle Limit series, a masterwork of recursive beauty, which in turn was the inspiration for our 1990s invention of hyperbolic trees.
Now, once again on a frontier, Art on Bitcoin, I return to my original thoughts of making hyperbolic art.
The Collection
Hyperbolic Genesis is a generative series born from code, shaped by the properties of curved space, and alive with movement. Each edition strikes a unique form on load but is an interactive discovery and painting app. As human and algorithm interact, the space and structures endlessly reform, revealing infinite possibilities in color, texture, and motion.
- Supply: 121 unique, code-based Editions (11 x 11, for reasons)
- Price: TBD
- Geometry & Ordinals: A fusion of hyperbolic mathematics and Bitcoin machinery
- Animation & Interaction: Art that shifts and evolves in boundless space
Whether you're drawn to math, art, or the strange new worlds opening on Bitcoin, Hyperbolic Genesis is a ticket to ride.
Reach out—let’s see where the infinite takes us.
