Programmed in the JavaScript language, primitivesRising is an animated presentation, coupling basic geometric forms with subtle colors. These combinations are sublimely simple, familiar and shown without pretense. With only elementary changes in form, color becomes the focus. Movement is stilted, as though the observers themselves are caught in some rough-hewn time-lapse. A square and circle are seen. The circle expands inside the square until another circle is born, its elder circle fades out completely, as if a vision in the fog.

primitivesRising comprises several sub-collections, each with unique color sets. This set, “CHLL”, holds bright, lively and energetic color combinations. Each unique color combination in this set is displayed with one of two animation speeds. Titles ending in ‘s’ are slow, ‘f’ are fast. For example: primitivesRising_CHLL111s ends in ‘s’ as it is a slow speed animation. Another work titled, “primitivesRising_CHLL111f”, indicates a fast animation.

Among programmers, “Primitives” are basic geometric shapes derived from mathematical expressions. They are often the fundamental, constructing elements in 3D animated worlds. And, unlike motion video which permanently fixes images into pixels, script-derived art is constructed in the viewer's browser at the moment of viewing. Equations become images: there are no pre-drawn frames or maps of pixels anywhere in the code. Mathematical expressions alone construct the entire visual work.

primitivesRising runs on most modern web browsers with IPFS-capability, entering fullscreen mode with a mouse or keyboard click. With portrait and landscape displays both supported, the art automatically resizes to the browser’s window. The secure link to artwork will be unlockable by the NFT's Owner.
