SPIROART is the fourth series of the Generative Art collection by RecollectionArts.com. It is a captivating project that reimagines the timeless joy of spirographs with a modern and interactive twist. Celebrating both nostalgia and creativity, this project transforms the classic drawing toy into a dynamic digital canvas where you have complete control using fx(params) features in fx(hash).

You can customize parameters such as color schemes, stencil types, and wheel configurations etc. to create endless variations of beautiful and stunning patterns. You can even personalize your artwork by adding a personal message to your creation!

By blending tradition with technology, SPIROART bridges the memories of the past with the creative opportunities of the present, inviting you discover the limitless potential of Generative Art.

To inspire creativity and promote awareness of Creative Coding, RecollectionArts.com will be hosting a small contest to recognize notable iterations of #SPIROART. Stay tuned, more details will be available on RecollectionArts.com on the mint date!

Minting Instructions
- The first parameter is a Random Seed that overrides the fx(hash) seed. This ensures that the artwork you see after configuring all parameters is exactly what you will receive when you mint. Therefore, two mints will be identical if they use the same set of parameters.

- You can try using different Random Seeds to generate different starting positions and colors within the selected Pen Color Scheme.

- Don’t worry, the stencil, wheels and counter will disappear once the artwork is complete.

- If you do not want a personal message, make sure to clear the box after randomizing the parameters.

- While minting, please avoid pressing any keys during this process. SpiroArt needs to complete fully, and there's no need to stop it.

- The countdown at the top does not align with real seconds; it may slow down toward the end.

- Please be patient! Just like a physical spirograph, creating something this beautiful takes a little time. A few minutes are needed to render your preview, and it's worth the wait!
