Provenance
Minted by its_jerry CryptoDubs Acquired from above Catalogue note Hideki Tsukamoto is a UK based programmer and technical artist. Fascinated with procedural systems and generative design, Hideki's career began in the early 1990's writing evolutionary art systems for an early code based ray-tracing system called POV-Ray. He went on to study graphic design, web, and print design and after dabbling in programming for many years, decided to take it seriously as a career. After considerable exposure to many programming languages, frameworks, and game engines, he has become an adept technical artist. His work is precise, often very graphic, and features consistent themes of distance transformations, noise based modulation, modularity, and recursion. In college, Tsukamoto found technical drawing on paper and pen clumsy and imprecise, so he started looking at CAD programs. This early introduction to 3D spaces on computers then led to programming in C. Singularity is the final chapter in a series that works backwards towards Genesis. The works are fully on-chain. There are 4 'chapters' in total, but Singularity focuses on endings: large, impactful, often vibrant crescendos of color and light. The inspiration for Singularity is space, creation, matter and void. It's part of a series. The work depicts giant black holes of varying turbulence, symmetry, chaos, intricacy, mass and force.
