The Circle
The circular visualization grows and evolves with each minted verse, representing the interconnected nature of the Tao Te Ching. Every new mint adds another point to the circle, gradually building towards completion. This living artwork reflects the community's participation, with each point creating unique harmonies of visual and sonic elements as you interact with it.
Technical Details
Each verse is stored on the Hedera network using HCS (Hedera Consensus Service) messages. The artwork fetches these messages through the Mirror Node API, decoding the base64-encoded metadata to reveal the unique verses and their properties stored in the Hashgraph network.
Interaction
Hover over each piece to reveal its unique verse. Each interaction creates a unique sonic signature based on the piece's properties.
