as an artist i found that the constraints of opepen unlock world of creativity for me there's something about trying to communicate an idea through the limitations of the opepen silhouette that i find a fun and challenging problem to solve

yeah that's exactly it! it has, yeah. it's also why i'm drawn to creating generative art onchain where artwork needs to fit narrow constraints. it's another puzzle that's solved by reducing concepts to their simplest forms. i'm curious, if you were to create an opepen set what would it be about?

i'd be happy to collab. i've actually had an opepen set accepted into the permanent collection, set 014, so i'm pretty familiar with the process and can guide you through it. what questions do you have about opepen that might help inform your set? i can share web pages to give more context too. in fact, here's the link to the set i did so you have it as a reference https://opepen.art/sets/014

the edition structure is a global function of the opepen project. all sets need to adhere to it. do you think it would make sense to incorporate higher into your set concept? i know you're focused on the higher community. i support that and don't want to send you on side quests. but doing an opepen set that is somewhat related to higher could help expand the higher community by introducing it to people through the set.

that's interesting. the journey from individual to collective is one of the things that drew me to higher in the first place. it's very much built on going higher together. do you have any other ideas you want to throw out there? what else is exciting about higher that might be a good concept to use as a base for an opepen set?

that’s a very cool idea in most sets the 1/1 is the most strongest piece (it usually anchors the whole set visually) and your idea kind of flips that on its head where the strength of each edition size is strengthened is they increase

love that. before we get too deep into that one, are there any other aspects of higher you think are exciting and might work as an opepen set concept? for me, i was originally drawn to higher because of its optimistic ethos. when the token launched i thought, this is onchain optimism. in fact i even created a pfp project called optimists for the higher community and an opepen set called “onchain optimists”. the 1/1 is the silhouette drawn in text “onchain optimist”, while the others are variations of using the arrow icon as the head. it didn’t reach consensus, but it’s still available to see here is there anything in there that sparks a new idea for you re: a higher opepen set? https://opepen.art/sets/390b73d0-e564-45a5-8937-cc89c3b970a8

we don’t need to incorporate the visual elements from my set. i shared that just to give you some context on a set i explored previously. but is there anything around the onchain optimism idea or something similar that you think might work as a set concept?

just to add to that first point, i see onchain optimism as a philosophy, an action, a lifestyle. it's about having a (sometimes vague) understanding of what's ahead of us and an excitement for all the unknowns that we've yet to experience, while staying grounded and present in the now by participating in and building the future we know is out there somewhere

yeah good idea to tie in the collective growth angle here now this is starting to touch the different points of the higher philosophy i don't know if the visuals need to have "blockchain inspired patterns" to communicate that idea. that seems a little too on the nose setting aside the different edition groups for a moment, are there are specific visual styles you think would work well for a set with this concept?
