Pairing an ERC-721 token with an original hand-painted canvas is an effort to connect the dots between the traditional contemporary art space and the digital realm as well as part of a larger vision to fuse these worlds.

the V01D / PULSAR / 009-001 is a custom, written from scratch, generative program using processing (JAVA) + GLSL shaders. The unique 2 minute 22 second real-time generative renders are a code base consisting of 9825 lines of code that Davis has been working on for almost a decade. Because this is an algorithmic generative piece of software, it is not limited to a fixed timeline of animation, it can create an infinite length of animation and generate rendered stills infinitely like the pattern of a snowflake where no two visual compositions would ever be the same. When a video is rendered, the viewer is viewing a window of time from the software’s infinite system. Davis also takes on the role of the critic, living with the work, watching it mutate and evolve, to finally capture/render a moment in time considered by the artist as visually pleasing. To put it simply, Davis programs all the rules, boundaries, and decision making an artist would make... but allows the software/algorithm to become the independent artist, and as such, Davis is in constant state of surprise in his role as observer as the program paints and animates decisions.
