Metropolis is a long-form generative art collection exploring the node-based systems that enable and possess modern society. These literal and theoretical systems are critical to computing, blockchains, logistics, and most apparently, the formation and function of cities. The project was extended beyond online distribution via individual exhibitions at the five Bright Moments gallery locations around the world. The five primary traits – New York City, Berlin, London, Mexico City, and Los Angeles – stylistically represent their respective city. The style of Metropolis is heavily influenced by cubism and abstract expressionism. The project is an attempt to emulate painting photorealistically within an on-chain algorithm. Metropolis is a demanding program and modern hardware is necessary to view the live generator.
