About

Rational Art is a project to bring the artistic beauty of Science, Engineering and Math to a wider audience. As pure generative art, these images are created solely with computer code. No base images or multiple layers are used to generate or seed the collections. Each product is unique.

Why so many collections? Rather than making one (a very boring number) large collection of different items, we have decided to split them into smaller more manageable collections. We are beginning with six collections as 6 is the first non-prime, Superior highly composite number. Enjoy!

Roadmap

The initial project worked on the problem of calculating irrational numbers to a lot of decimal places (millions of digits in some cases). Having solved this and proving it was possible to generate aesthetically pleasing abstract artwork, gave us the first 6 collections of NFTs.

PHASE II will take this a step further to create animations of turning these raw numbers into works of art. We will take these large data sets and produce animation of these numbers turning into colour images.

We will start with 256 digits and work our way up to at least 4096 digits. Again, these animations will be produced only using code (pure generative art) and of course each animation will be unique. We hope to drop these videos NFTs after 21st June 2022.

PHASE III Will delve deeper into the actual content of the NFT and make a more personal connection than the original NFTs. We hope to be able to further personalise the images by highlighting particular sequences of digits in the artwork (your birthday or an anniversary for example).

We will also be making NFTs that can be joined together while keeping the sequence of digits intact (rather like a jigsaw puzzle). The NFT itself becomes a texel of an even larger image. Collecting these texel NFTs will allow you to make a NFT colleciton with millions rather than thousands of decimal places of a particular number. We expect to release these NFTs by 23rd September 2022.
