Asterium is going live in ~24h, so I wanted to share some thoughts on the project while we wait :)

Evolving pieces have always inspired me, especially since they really show the versatility of generative art. I've tried experimenting before but...

But never as in depth and complete as asterium. The idea was intially to make it grow forever, getting thinner and thinner as time went on.

But after researching how formations form within space I realised this is not at all how it should work, it should, reach an equilibruim... Original look after 500 days of evolving, not really getting
And it made me think about how we grow, do we grow to become more and more spread out, or do we grow to become more condensed into something we want to become?

Through this question I decided to "curate" a growth timeline, which all the outputs follow. A goal to reach...
Without spoiling what will happen it's quite hard to explain, so I won't get into much more detail,

though I would like to share a couple of early growth stages, to get the idea crossed over. And show you a sneak peak of the next 2 months of growth for your asterium:
This is asterium Alphecca. Check the image descriptions (click on them) to see some notes on the growth up to that point. Alphecca, currently on it's 30th day of growth. As you can sFrom this! Alphecca grew that much in just under a month. YoAfter just 15 more days Alphecca has gone through some changThen, as far as I'm going to take you for now, Alphecca grew
Hopefully that gave you some insight into how your asterium will grow over time. And this is just under a fourth! Imagine what growth it would go through after half a year..

I'm excited to keep up with the growth of all the upcoming asteriums. And I will!

See you tomorrow! 😁👋

Asterism is launching this Saturday on #fxhash.
It's my way of summarizing the journey of life.

Where looking back is the best way to look forward.
Where looking forwards is not a possibility.
Where each day is uncertain.

More info on the story behind it:

Asterism symbolizes the journey we all go through in my mind. And one we can share, and enjoy! The token will grow each day, evolving from the past. After a total of 365 days grown it will reach it's equilibrium, where it will reside forever.
