MASKS

MASKS continues Piter Pasma’s journey generating 3D shapes, mathematical formulas expressing infinite variations, using unfathomably small amounts of code.

3825 characters of inscrutably esoteric incantations, machine code, no external dependencies, running in the browser, etched onto the Ethereum blockchain.

Nobody makes their own mask. Culturally relevant and molded to perfection. Who is the great master, that checks the vibe?

MASKS outputs plottable SVG, with multiple rendering styles accessible via URL GET parameters:

?w=140 page width in mm
?lw=.3 line width in mm
?d=280 dot detail

Artist

Piter Pasma is in some parts of the Universe known as Piter Pasma. Known for generative long form projects such as Skulptuur, Blokkendoos, Industrial Devolution, Universal Rayhatcher and many more.

Piter Pasma is known for designing generators of three dimensional shapes, mathematical formulas expressing infinite variations, using unfathomably small amounts of code. Each of the above projects are less than 7KB of code, about half a page of inscrutable characters and esoteric incantations with no external dependencies, running in the browser.

He also is the lead organizer of Genuary, the world-wide and possibly interplanetary celebrated generative art month.

Technical Jargon

A “Masks” output is a plottable SVG that can be rendered in several different styles. This means configuratable page size, line thickness and dot detail level.
