California Sunset

This artwork merges code-based art with artistic programming. The piece employs flow fields to generate vine-like and leaf-inspired patterns overlaying a gradient derived from a sunset photograph. A distinctive feature involves the artwork's evolution throughout the day, progressively darkening as hours pass. The vine curling intensity corresponds directly to bidding amounts.

The associated smart contract represents an early implementation of bidder's edition NFTs. I created this to address the common challenge of manually distributing bidder's editions. The contract automatically mints new pieces to previous bidders' wallets as bids arrive, ensuring each participant (except the auction winner) receives a unique artwork. Bid data passes into the p5js script, generating individualized pieces based on specific bidding amounts.

The piece sold at auction for 10 ETH.
