Curated

The 16 curated editions

Sixteen numbers carry the Type: Curated trait, hand-picked from the generated range: 2, 11, 29, 43, 61, 89, 107, 149, 173, 211, 233, 277, 313, 349, 367, and 383. See the full list with pulled trait data in the Field Guide.

Generated editions

The remaining 368 editions carry the Type: Generated trait, each still unique in color, composition, speed, and transition interval.

Where P:X started

P:X started here, before any of it was code. These sixteen clips are hand-animated, frame by frame in a video editor, in early 2021: the same circles-and-bars vocabulary, textured with a grain effect we called static. This set of sixteen is also where a familiar number comes from: when the generative algorithm shipped, sixteen editions out of the 384 were hand-curated, the same count as these original prototypes. Unreleased for years, they'll eventually be minted themselves as a record of it.

Once it came time to build P:X as an actual generative piece, that static effect turned out to be too heavy for the code to run, so it got dropped. What's below is what survived the translation: the same shapes, flattened, worked out by hand before they became the algorithm.
