Spring Storm

2020-2021

The projects I have chosen are Holger Lippmann’s “Transiterate” (2022) and “Spring Storm” (2020-2021). “Transiterate” is an animated looping NFT consisting of 100 individual unique frames. Lippmann’s site describes it as “a gradual, repeating subdivision (iteration) of rhythmically consecutive color tables”, which translates to a large circle with constantly shifting and transforming subdivisions whose coloring move up and down the color wheel.

Meanwhile, “Spring Storm” is a series of prints composed of red and white swirls on a wavy background. The compositions were generated via layered Perlin noise, resulting in a highly dynamic yet varied series of artworks. The integration of code and other digital means as a core part of a lucrative artistic workflow is highly admirable.

Lippmann’s work is described as falling “somewhere in between artistic disassociation and realistic reproduction, between old values and modern perspectives”. His abstract compositions are reminiscent of the atmosphere and sensorial experience of various natural phenomena. He incorporates various algorithms, particularly RNG, which allows him to instantly generate “an abundance of possibilities”, which he feels is missing in traditional forms of media.
