Volatile Moods is a procedural artist and music composer who creates conceptual generative art marked by bold color, intricate patterns, and coded, painterly brushwork.Working mainly in long-form generative art, he explores automata, agents, recursion, and physics simulation, writing concise algorithms with simple rules that produce a high degree of output variation.He began releasing work on fx(hash) in late 2021, after discovering generative art and NFTs online.,
He has said he enjoys long-form generative art for the surprise and uncertainty built into the process of generating outputs. For him, emergence is only part of the process, which also involves rendering, code optimization, tuning parameters, and testing.He considers community essential to long-form generative art, since a collection is only completed once enough collectors mint from it, sometimes giving rise to a small ecosystem around the finished work.
In 2022, working on Tezos via fx(hash), he released Megalopolis, a 384-edition series exploring recursion to generate urban-like structures viewed from above.One edition was shown in the “Meta.space (Visions of Space)” group exhibition at Francisco Carolinum Linz, Austria, that year.,Later that year, he released Rough Cuts, a 512-edition series that cuts the canvas into smaller pieces and applies custom coloring and coded brushwork for a painterly finish.,Four editions were displayed at the Tezos Art exhibition space during Art Basel Miami Beach in 2022. In December 2023, he released Undercurrent on Alba.art, his first work on Ethereum, using single gestural brushstrokes to explore dynamic movement across 256 editions.In November 2024, My Space returned to fx(hash) on Ethereum, a 256-edition series coded in p5js that blends bold geometric forms with soft, painterly textures.,In 2025, Cutout Compositions developed the same painterly sensibility further, programmatically dividing the canvas into interlocking geometric shapes and adding a custom texturing process for a tactile, hand-crafted feel.In 2026, he began Rayincarnations on fx(hash), a long-form project in which each minted edition can be explored as a generator for its own family of related variations.
