MERIDIAN

“Stratified landforms constructed from many small strokes of colour. The hash of each token describes a coordinate within a multidimensional generative space, locating a unique composition that lies along one of many possible longitudes.”

Meridian is a collection of 1000 artworks released on the platform Art Blocks, each created with code written by Matt DesLauriers. A JavaScript program which runs the code constructs stratified landforms using thousands of small strokes of colour. Different styles of strokes create different effects, all inspired by analog techniques such as charcoal, gouache or linogravure. The beauty is that every time a collector mints an artwork on Art Blocks, the code will randomly generate a new artwork that not even the artist can know in advance.
