In @piterpasma’s universal rayhatcher you can go into params and change the line width and it adds exceptional details and changes the perspective resulting in unexpected compositions like this one with these amazing details that look like flowing water.

Such a delight to find minted out projects that are affordable on the secondary market and full of delightful images.

Elysian Fields, 2024
3D rendering, color manipulation, generative 3D models

A collection of 20 rendered and color manipulated images, exploring the mechanics of ray tracing as a creative method. Rather than photorealistic representations, Elysian Fields manipulates the parameters of synthetic optics (camera, lights, 3D geometry and procedural textures) to create images that range from the psychedelic techno-Baroque, to the serene.

Named after Elysium, the blessed afterlife in Greek mythology, this series represents an inflection point in Marius Watz’ creative practice. Having worked with code and generative systems since the early 1990’s, it is a departure in the sense that no code or strict ruleset is used. But the aesthetic focus remains consistent: Investigating the chaotic fringes of algorithms to produce images that feel at times both organic and mechanical, using color to provoke an almost kinetic reaction in the eye of the viewer.

In a sense, Elysian Fields also represents coming full circle. Experimenting with 3D rendering (using DKBTrace, later POV-Ray) in his late teens was how Watz discovered his visual interests. POV-Ray’s text-based modeling language allowed him to write code to generate 3D objects, inspired by the work of William Latham. This convergence of interests got Watz his start as an artist, producing visuals for the nascent Oslo techno scene in 1994.

The images of Elysian Fields echo many of the visual ideas in Watz’ early 3D work, matured by three decades of visual experimentation.


Collectors of Elysian Fields are entitled to collect a signed physical print, 25” x 33.3” / 63.5 x 84.7 cm, printed on archival paper. The cost of printing (TBD) and international shipping shall be covered by the collector. Only one print can be requested per token.

Dear Farcasters, I've gotten a bunch of these and I really want to see the rest of this series by @piterpasma mint out so I can see all the variations. Please go check it out and consider minting one or more.

I made daffodil nfts and now the flowers are all dead and gone and only their images survive.

Super jamming on fxhash these days. Looooove generative art and delighted by the work there! https://www.fxhash.xyz/u/Bre%20Pettis/collection

Soooooo… I had a blind spot with fxhash. Spent today digging in looking for plottable pieces and ended up with a really nice collection. Who are your favorite artists on fxhash? https://www.fxhash.xyz/u/Bre%20Pettis/collection
