Hi, I'm Matto. Terraforms by Mathcastles was an inspiration for me to believe that NFTs could be a medium for fine art making. Making a video essay about Terraforms was a way to help more people understand it and feel the way I did. Now, after a year of working on it
Cycles by Material Protocol Arts Cycles by Material Protocol Arts is a network sculpture composed of space and time, a meditation on recurrence and change. Time and its manner of repeating appear as themes in art and metaphysics through the ages. Heraclitus steps into and out of

The VALLEY renderer in Cycles is based on a similar fractal noise displacement approach as SHOAL but with a lower degree of displacement, warping the grid into a maplike topology

I love my SHOAL renderer [Lens 298, Ring 4, Pos 35]
The SHOAL renderer in Cycles is the renderer that creates the biggest deformation of the underlying grid, warping it into 3d space. All the same automata processes are playing out but the grid has been bent and folded into floating hills and valleys.

In Cycles the entire grid is always running Conways Game of Life, along with multiple other cellular automata. Sometimes it’s invisible or hard to see but in this moment of this lens it comes through very clearly. Little critters living out their artificial lives 🥹

I'm currently working on a @reservoir0x indexer fork to maintain Terraform Explorer in "as is" mode - since Reservoir's NFT API got shutdown today. I added "focus" mode in the fork, so that the whole indexer is focused on a single ERC-721 collection - this way the indexer DB is

It’s fascinating that a16z is now publishing timely cultural criticism like Alex Danco’s “Prediction: the successor to postmodernism”, which aptly links trend forecasting, prediction markets, suggestion algos and next-token-predicting LLMs as prime locus for cultural innovation;

No external dependencies.
Happy to report that Cycles is unaffected by the Amazon S3 outage. Ethereum is still up.
