"Fantastic Algorithmic Rainbow Temporalities" (or FARTs) is a collection of semi-deterministic generative artworks that blend the precision of p5.js with the creativity of SDXL, all seasoned with a multitude of prompt variables that add their own distinct flavor to the mix.

At the heart of FARTs is a p5.js project that generates a whimsical lil' smiley-faced mound. While variables such as size and texture are hashed out deterministically, a special snippet of code employs a time-checking function that quite literally colors the piece by adjusting the hue of the subject and its background. (note: due to the chaotic nature of image synthesis, results may vary)

The hue changes as subtly as a gentle breeze, cycling through the rainbow over a six-hour period. If you mint a batch all at once, they'll share a similar chromatic scent. However, if you spread out the minting over time, you'll experience a full bouquet of colors.

For an added burst of excitement, FARTs contain a special easter egg: mint at the stroke of the hour for a particularly unique output. It's a playful nod to those with precise timing, capturing a moment of passing beauty that's sure to make an impression.

So inhale deeply and plunge into the new year with FARTs, where each release is a burst of creativity, leaving behind a colorful trail that lingers indefinitely.
