Fractal Mandalas by godsol

Welcome to An Experience

Before you dive deeper, why not dive deep?

I made a 4k music video of the Fractal Mandalas using one variant of each base fractal pair.

While watching the video, relax your gaze at the center point.

This collection is about art, and fashion printed with that art. I've sold shirts around the world in web2. Come with me and get full rights + the chance to win multiple fashion items with your NFT printed on it.

So what are Fractal Mandalas?

Forged from recursive equations..

..pumped through a Xeon / M1 Max processor, these 121megapixel Fractal Mandalas use sacred math to induce a psychedelic experience by hacking the pattern recognition system of the brain.

DMT meets data 🍃 Mandalas meet Mushrooms 🍄 Art meets acid 👅

- Top Quality Art
- 9 Contests to win
- Shirts, Yoga Pants, Hoodies + more from Art of Where
- Non-exclusive full-forever commercial rights to all owners + resellers

☀️ Fractal Mandalas 🖼 NFT / IRL Fashion Collection

Buy a NFT from our collection, win a FASHION printed all-over with your NFT art (the IRL kind)

Utility: We'll have an artsy contest each iteration to receive an all-over printed Hoodie, Shirt, etc of their NFT design. All primary purchasers eligible. 

Contests will happen each multiple of 36 sales. All NFTs are listed at the beginning, but at different price points depending on the variation. Each contest will be slightly different, but will involve using your art in some way, like setting your profile pic, or displaying it in a creative way. If there are multiple people that complete the contest, randomness will be used when possible, or Douglas will pick his 2 favorite entries.

Technically, you could buy the first 36 and automatically win 2 prizes. 

18 winners total.

9 Contests: Win A Free Shirt, Yoga pants, Hoodie, etc
1. Purchase a primary or secondary sale Fractal Mandala
2. Do something cool and unique with the art! Each contest will be slightly different, but easy to complete.
 - First contest will be to set the image as your profile pic on Twitter
 - Future contests will be more fun! Like remixing the art.

Two winners will be chosen each iteration by godsol in a unique contest. This contest will be different for each level, and announced in the Fractal Mandala discord channel. We will solicit entries after each 36 sales. If multiple levels sell-out  quickly, we will do one big contest to pick all the winners.

About the Art

👑 The Fractals - Quality comes with patience, and in this collection, at 11,000x11,000px resolution. Each fractal layer in this collection took 8-12 hours to render on a M1 Max with 64gb ram.

⚛️ The Sacred Layers - I made patterns using sacred geometry (Flower of Life, Metatron's Cube, etc) and then discovered how to perfectly interlace them with smaller versions. Many of these were created on busses traveling through Bolivia.

👕 The Clothes - I have been a clothing designer for 9 years, selling thousands of shirts, yoga pants, etc., and tens of thousands of stickers. I was the clothing designer for Fest Apparel, which sold a limited-print collection of epic clothing and tapestries at east coast music festivals. You've probably seen something I've designed IRL without realizing it.

🖌 9 iterations of 36 pieces each will be released, with each new edition raising the floor price. Update: We have decided to put all for sale at the start, with the following pricing model providing scarcity of certain genealogies. For the 324 pieces of art in this collection, 12 base fractals are used. Click the Judges document at the bottom to see the structure of the art + file names.

NFT Pricing by Batch (🔑: Batch # - Price in TLOS)
 
Batch 1 - 100 TLOS each NFT
2 - 200

All images were originally rendered at 11,000 x 11,000 px on a M1 MAX processor. All art on Telos is unique and will not be used in other collections. Telos collection will focus on fully-layered and BOOMing Fractal Mandalas (see video updates to see the quality.)

Shirt + shipping costs covered in NFT price.

The wisdom of fractals..

..is expressed in the structure of life, light, and the universe itself.

Sacred geometry trains your brain to pick up universal patterns of energy, improving perception and connection. Fractals can amplify, distribute and focus this energy. Tune in. Turn on. One Love. ☀️

Updates: The art is now 100% rendered! We overshot the original goal of 144 images and ended up with 324 images. This is 9 iterations of 36. We originally wanted to give each buyer a shirt, but it's too much time commitment to track down hundreds of people's information to send all the shirts. Now, we have a contest. See above for contest info, which will take place in the Fractal Mandala channel on our Discord
