. Follow the thread - Anticyclone and textures .
This Etch is first one of a thread that aims to explore the Anticyclone collection and its similarities with Etch's Spirit algorythm.
Anticyclone was created by William Mapan in early 2021 and released as a curated project of Art Blocks. Like most of Mapan's ART, this collection seems like a way to study computer generated textures. With Anticyclone, he seems to have taken a focus on coloured pencil and felt pen texture generation. Remarkable examples of this texture approach are the graphite Anticyclone like the one Etched here. These Anticyclone look like they were handdrawn with a pencil but it also looks like was done on a textured surface leaving a small square pattern white mark. Looking in the details will leave you in awe at the human like pencil texture with pencil pressure continuous variations in both intensity and movement.
For it's matching Spirit I chose one that has a very low saturated coloration with a broken down pattern to echoe the voids of the inital Anticyclone. While you can more clearly discern the pattern in the Spirit than the Anticyclone, its center shows that this is definitely not a regular shape and that entropy governs its creation process, like for Anticyclone.
