Kintsugi #416

**Broken is beautiful.** — Evoking inspiration from the Japanese art of Kintsugi this avant-garde collection subverts expectations, examining the relationship between self and ambition, wholeness, strength and the false value of acquiring precious metals. Kintsugi is our genesis collection and a technical test to prove our approach for on-chain generative artwork. Owning a Kintsugi directly supports our platform and acts as an early mint pass for future collections. Kintsugi renders between 5,000-20,000 particles in a particle simulation, each particle simulated for four hundred frames, to produce the kintsugi lines. It also renders 40,000-120,000 polygons for the watercolors and uses random number generation, trigonometry, and noise functions. All of this to produce a 1024x1024 pixel image, without the aid of a GPU, using only the Ethereum blockchain.
