ABOUT THE PROJECT ⏬

1/3 Progression explores the visual effects of traveling through sequences of colors. Arranged in vertical or horizontal segments of varying sizes, the project reveals how neighboring colors activate each other, creating vibrations and perceptual shifts across the composition. Each color's presence reverberates throughout the entire piece, generating chromatic echoes and harmonies. As colors transition within each segment—either in distinct steps or smooth gradients—they produce different visual phenomena. Distinct steps create a push-pull effect that undulates across each individual color, while smooth gradients blur edges and create visual ambiguity. The color sequences also create an illusion of depth as certain transitions appear to move forward or backward in space based on their hue and value.

2/3 This project builds on the work of artists who have inspired me to investigate color theory in my own work, such as Paul Klee, Josef Albers, Mark Rothko, and Gene Davis. Klee approached color like music, observing how colors resonate with their neighbors like musical notes forming chords. Albers identified the "fluting" effect—the visual bending that occurs when arranging colors in mathematically even steps. Rothko demonstrated how subtle transitions of color create atmospheric effects that pull you in for deeper consideration. And Davis explored how stripes of color generate rhythm and movement across a composition, adding a kinetic dimension to his work.

3/3 I'm thrilled to share Progression with all of you and deeply grateful to everyone who will help bring this project to life through your participation. It inspires me to continue exploring, researching, and sharing my fascination of color with you ❤️

Much more to come over the next 2 weeks! Tomorrow, we’ll take a closer look at the algorithm. In the meantime, see if you can identify the number of segments at work and the parent colors at their boundaries.

2 week minting window, so shouldn't be a problem. Aiming for this to be a relaxed, fun minting experience.

Very cool! I will try to snag one if I can.
