Cone Gradient Study: Mint Pass

This is a mint pass that will allow owners to mint an artwork from Cone Gradient Study.

Cone Gradient Study is a series of computational artworks that explore the intersection of graphical form, gradients, color and light simulation.

• Each of the 50 artworks will be released as an edition.
• There will be 150 mint passes. A mint pass enables you to mint one edition of one of the artworks.
• A maximum of 5 editions can be minted per artwork.
• The redemption window is from 12-14th August, after which unredeemed mint pass holders will be randomly allocated an edition.
• Collectors can claim a signed A1 print of their work. Shipping and handling costs are not included. Live status here.

"The work is built with a simple premise – what if the color of every pixel is derived from a small number of points which have a hue, an intensity and a direction. Given a simple equation, the color of a given pixel can be determined. You can think of these cones like light sources, and the equation is not dissimilar to how you might explore the mixing of different light sources. Starting with that simple approach, I did my normal thing of turning the volume knob up to 11, and tried to see how I could break this system in different ways, in order to explore the different feelings, moods and expressions that emerge. I gravitate to work which feels illuminated, where light is a central component, and with this study I found light everywhere I looked. The system starts as a simple mathematical function (these are essentially photographs of math), but I like to iterate and iterate to find natural, emergent properties and moments that surprise." - Zach Lieberman
