1/1 of 3,333 pieces, launched in September 2024 in collaboration with Vivid Gallery. p5 generative art on Bitcoin Ordinals with parent-child provenance, listed on Gamma and Magic Eden.

“Light Waves: Visible Light” is more than a visual experience - it’s a moment of recognition that invites the viewer into a meditative rhythm, a space where time softens and emotion surfaces echoing a deeper story about connection, transmission, and the invisible threads that link us across space and time.

“Light Waves: Visible Light” is the first chapter in a 7 collection series. Representing a transmission encoded in the very light that surrounds us. Inspired by the awe of outer space and the emotional charge of light itself, this collection explores what it means to receive a message not with the mind, but with the heart. Through fluid, undulating forms, each piece channels the natural motion of light as wave, vibrant, kinetic, and alive.

Featured pieces from the collection: Light Waves #984, Light Waves #528, Light Waves #637, Light Waves #1202, Light Waves #2172, and Light Waves #3121.

Gamification

Human beings are inherently driven by the need for connection. whether it’s to others, to moments from our past, or to emotions that define us. “Light Waves: Visible Light” taps into this fundamental desire to uncover how deeply interconnected everything truly is.

The mission is to seek out and connect with your adjoining Light Waves neighbors to form a neighborhood (AKA “Hood”).

A neighborhood consists of 3 or more adjoining Light Waves within the same wallet. For example, Light Waves #165, Light Waves #166, and Light Waves #167 together form a neighborhood.

Once achieved all adjoining Light Waves will have an automatic dynamic update, reflecting their connection. However, if the connection is ever severed, resulting in less then 3 adjoining neighbors being held in the same wallet, the remaining Light Waves will return to their original unconnected state.

This gamification of Light Waves invites participants to explore not only the connections within the artwork but also the connections within the community, creating dynamic and evolving relationships.

Example neighborhood members: Light Waves #165 (Neighborhood), Light Waves #166 (Neighborhood), and Light Waves #167 (Neighborhood).

Active Reinscription Mechanism

What sets “Light Waves: Visible Light” apart is the active participation of holders in the reveal process. Rather than passively receiving the artwork, they play a key role in determining its final form. The outcome of your piece is not pre-determined. time and your engagement are the only variables that shape it.

the act of inscribing and revealing your ordinal is entirely in your hands. This approach empowers holders to actively reveal their unique artwork at the moment they are ready.

The reinscription mechanism emphasizes the importance of timing and decision-making, allowing each holder to discover their piece in a way that is entirely their own.
