This project kicked off the MNML Series One week, where I decided to have a chilled week of coding, while listening to Orbital, Tubeway Army, The KLF, Future Sounds of London, Aphex Twin and Kate Bush. I wanted to push the thumbnail generated by fxhash into the realms of very minimal, but even I wasn't brave enough to make it a completely blank canvas, each mint has it's own unique subtle paper texture.

However over the period of 4 minutes 33 seconds the art piece is "performed", a visual version of John Cage's 4'33", in this case a single line, water and rainfall fill up the design. Once the 4 miniutes 33 seconds are up the artwork is finished.

To make sure everyone didn't end up with a blank canvas, a second project "33'4 was created afterwards to air drop to owners, with the artwork reversed; starting with the design going to nothing after 4'33", thus giving everyone a "before" and "after" version of the artwork to keep.

Instructions

=======================================

Print size is square.

Keypresses

'h' - Toggle high-res 's' - Download and save image

Printing

The high resolution image outputs at 8,192 x 8,192 pixels.

Print 27.3" x 27.3" at 300dpi Print 69.4cm x 69.4cm at 300dpi

Add ?forceWidth=xxxx where xxxx is the pixels size you want. For example to print at 100cm high, the width would need to be 100cm. 100cm in inches is 39.37" at 300dpi = 11,811 pixels width. So using ?forceWidth=11811 and downloading will give you an PNG large enough to be safely printed at 1 meter height.
