 This project didn't get minted as many times as I had hoped but the whole experience of learning and creating was very valuable for me. I very much enjoyed the whole process. If anything, NFT gave me motivation to push forward, finish and release the piece out in the world. If it weren't for that, I would have just tinkered with it for some time and moved on. It could have been one of many incomplete code files in my computer. I would like to continue to experiment with this new method of creating and releasing my work.

It explores generative+computational motion and creates an almost infinite sequence of visual compositions. Two groups of shapes transform, merge, and split randomly. What can be disorienting starts to make sense as every element is animated from one to the other. This transition animation is what connects random pieces and creates a relationship between them. Each element is mathematically interpolated, with its motion defined by an equation.

 Although there are key moments, it is hard to summarize time-based work as a static image. As a constantly evolving generative motion piece, Duet invites viewers to form their impression by feeling the rhythm over time.

 Duet received an overwhelming response from collectors and minted out quickly except for the six reserved tokens for future use myself. Currently, the 250 minted iterations are owned by 157 collector wallets on the Tezos blockchain. I am motivated by all the support I got. I will continue to use this newly developing decentralized space to share and release my future digital artworks.

 I took inspirations from music - how it uses repetitions to create impressions and how variations and improvisations bring surprise and vibrancy. Digitally created motion is precise and has regularity but it can go out of control quickly with mathematically applied randomness. It is a balancing act to find an interesting middle ground between being too random and thus boring and being too precise and also boring.
 
-Just like musical score alone is not music, coded instructions are not motion. In music, everything flows over time. Also, motion-based work, unlike still images, creates a temporal rhythm in-between images. This is something that cannot be described on paper or with numbers in code. It can only be experienced when it is played over time or the code is executed.

 Rules guide visual rhythm, overlapping and shifting to create playful moments of predictability and chaos. You glimpse patterns, then they disappear. Strangely, I find it calming to watch the infinitely generated overlapping visual rhythm it creates.
