serendipity vs consequence #213 “audio debug”

serendipity vs consequence is a generative audiovisual artwork that challenges the value of determinism in the current genart zeitgeist. this artwork will appear differently on different devices without anything in the code explicitly targeting such hardware differences.

this is a curated capture of edition #213 of the collection showing the audio debug in the browser console. the audio is generated by using a kmeans algorithm to analyze the generated visuals for predominant colors. these color values are used to generate notes, their volume, and level of distortion.

serendipity vs consequence is the result of deterministic algorithms which manifest differently depending on the device it is viewed upon. The basis for this project is a phenomenon called z-fighting, a common issue in 3d graphics when two or more objects overlap in 3d space thus causing an issue for the system to determine which is closer or farther from the viewpoint.

serendipity vs consequence was first released on fxhash on March 15, 2023. this is the first curated capture focusing on the artwork’s generative audio.
