Richtext: ###What is Mutant Garden? Mutant Garden Seeder consists of 512 generative unique Ethereum NFTs by me, Harm van den Dorpel, released in collaboration with Folia in 2021. ###How does it work? Only one mutant can be minted per block number. The transaction hash of this chosen birth block is taken as a seed for a deterministic random function, used to populate a cartesian genetic network (“chromosome”) and functions as a Turing complete machine, which executes to generate visual artworks (“phenotype”): User chosen seed block → Block hash → Properties + seed number → Deterministic random function → Cartesian genetic network + window dimensions → SVG → Artwork Additionally, mutants mutate over time by themselves, based on the similarity of the seed block hash and the current block hash. ###How can I view my mutant? Mutant Garden NFTs can be watched on the Mutant Garden Seeder website, where the birth state and all later mutations can be inspected. As each mutant is in essence a simple computer program, it can be executed in the browser in various screen resolutions and screen aspect ratios (perhaps this can be considered to be the phenotype-affecting environment). Mutants are responsive. The amount of available window pixels (X/Y) is used as input in the parsing of the program, which means that one mutant will have infinite renderings. Some render predictably on different window sizes, some more surprisingly.

Richtext: ###What are all the fixed attributes/properties a mutant can have? “Complexity”, “color mode”, and “mutation frequency” are fixed upon birth and do not change over time. ###What is complexity? The algorithm used to generate the recursive modular graphics is an implementation of a Cartesian genetic network. These evolutionary algorithms define a 2-dimensional grid of layers and nodes. The complexity of a mutant is directly correlated to the amount of layers. Fewer layers generate lower complexity, many layers have the potential for high complexity. ###What is color mode? Each mutant has a color palette with a fixed amount of reusable colors. Some mutants use RGB colors (“Contrastful”), some HSL (“Balanced”), and some both (“Complex”). ###What are “coding genes”? Within Mutant Garden, nodes ("genes") contain drawing or branching instructions, and pointers to memory locations. The total number of genes is defined as layers × nodes So the “coding genes” percentage can be calculated with: (N nodes visited during network traversal) / (total genes) × 100 The mutation algorithm favours mutations in already coding genes, which causes more visual changes to occur, because mutations in non-coding genes would very often not cause any noticeable changes. This means that the coding genes property probably slowly increases as the mutant gets older.

Richtext: ###How often does a mutant mutate? At birth, each mutant receives a fixed mutation probability, based on the seed block hash. The most stable mutants mutate maybe once every five months, and the most dynamic ones mutate every single day. Each block, for each individual mutant, its seed block hash is compared with the current block hash. From binary representations of these hashes, when the first N digits are equal, a mutation occurs. The decision which gene to mutate and to what, is dictated by the current block hash. This means that mutations, even though they are random and unpredictable, are fully deterministic. ###Where is the data stored? The block hash on which the mutants’ birth state and properties are based, is stored on-chain. The seed block number is conveniently identical to the token ID. Only one mutant can be minted per block number. Mutations that occur later in the life of a mutant are also based on block hashes, so these are already known on-chain. The final artwork is an ever growing sequence of SVG files of the birth state and mutation states. These SVG files can always be deterministically recalculated by the Mutant Garden Seeder Daemon as well as the standalone Electron desktop app (soon to be released). Currently the rendered SVGs are stored on the same dedicated server that renders them, but I have scheduled to migrate the rendered assets and metadata to a durable decentralised storage solution. ###What happens if Mutant Garden goes “offline”? The metadata of the token references the most recent mutation. This means that in the unlikely event that Mutant Garden would go offline, this last mutation remains accessible as a “fossil”, which is also a poetically satisfying outcome to me.

Richtext: #Series 2 - Transmission Generative on-chain audiovisual packed with subliminal messages documenting some of the "spirit of this age". Visuals inspired by ANSI terminal and noisy video signals. Synthesized percussion and randomized rhythms. While many generative collections of art feature a widely varying parameter space, this collection instead has its parameters finely tuned and tightly constrained. The time dependent process is still seeded by the random hash value so that each are unique, but they have the same flavor and can be thought of as "prints" of the original artwork. The code that generates the audiovisual is stored completely on-chain, allowing a user to reconstruct the media without having to trust IPFS or external storage.
