Seen from above, the robot enacts an ice-generation algorithm to create crystal bar lattices that create a unique, dynamic, tokenised 3D Web Graphic Library (WebGL) art piece documenting that solar moment. The lattices in *crystalline work* form “archetypes” — masks, solar crosses, mandalas, stars, trees, and mycelium, amongst others — which generatively emerge from the algorithm’s logic. Embedded in each work is a 4,000-pixel image file of the generated archetype, which can be dynamically exported and locally pigment printed on paper at 1m x 1m to the artist's specifications. Also embedded in each work is a 3D model of the unique crystal array, which can be exported for usage in 3D prints or virtual world-building. ## Works (9048) - [crystalline work (arctic) 1.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191296) - [crystalline work (arctic) 2.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191297) - [crystalline work (arctic) 3.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191298) - [crystalline work (arctic) 4.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191299) - [crystalline work (arctic) 5.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191300) - [crystalline work (arctic) 6.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191301) - [crystalline work (arctic) 7.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191302) - [crystalline work (arctic) 8.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191303) - [crystalline work (arctic) 9.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191304) - [crystalline work (arctic) 10.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191305) - [crystalline work (arctic) 11.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191306) - [crystalline work (arctic) 12.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191307) - [crystalline work (arctic) 13.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191308) - [crystalline work (arctic) 14.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191309) - [crystalline work (arctic) 15.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191310) - [crystalline work (arctic) 16.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191311) - [crystalline work (arctic) 17.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191312) - [crystalline work (arctic) 18.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191313) - [crystalline work (arctic) 19.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191314) - [crystalline work (arctic) 20.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191315) - [crystalline work (arctic) 21.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191316) - [crystalline work (arctic) 22.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191317) - [crystalline work (arctic) 23.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191318) - [crystalline work (arctic) 24.1.365.1](https://feralfile.com/artworks/31946296525744824328753280828797417080692251952513183340713878305007073191319) Page 95 of 95.
