SolMandalas




ON SECONDARY MARKETPLACES:
MAGIC EDEN & ALPHA ART

 

SolMandalas is the first “live” algorithmically generated NFT artworks hosted
on-chain on Solana & Arweave. Each NFT will point to its own live generative
algorithm - so you can watch it forever, and fall into the depths of its calming
animations!



Why did we make SolMandalas?

Everywhere you look, you see chaos. Every time you open Discord, Twitter, or
even take the bus, you discover the next generative NFT project - and we believe
that it’s time we found some calm in this chaos. Welcome to SolMandalas: A route
to discover your own inner peace and full power of the self.  

SolMandalas is a collection of 2,495 algorithmically generated animated
Mandalas. Every single one of them is unique and has different properties which
support the tastes of all people. SolMandalas will be brought to life through an
exploration of symmetry, movement, and balance. So take a deep breath and join
us as we begin our meditative journey together.

SolMandalas is a series of dynamic artworks that offer collectors an opportunity
to pause, take a breath, and become more present. Created in reaction to the
volatile and ever-changing landscape of NFT art - these algorithmically
generative artworks undulate beautifully, inviting viewers to watch them slowly
change over time, and as they  become more active during the day. The collection
of SolMandala NFTs are on the Solana and Arweave blockchains. 



What is unique about SolMandalas?

 * Each NFT comes with its own code - permanently stored on the Arweave
   blockchain allowing easy access for owners. 

 * The artworks respond to the time of day! During daylight hours, the
   SolMandalas begin to spin - becoming more active until noon - and then
   calming down in the evening and night time hours.

 * We believe that SolMandala NFTs are the first LIVE generative artwork to be
   released on the Solana blockchain.

TRAIT RARITY

SolMandalas come in a wide variety of shapes, colours and functions. Each
mandala is created through a selection of attributes that make it special and
beautiful in its own right. No matter what those attributes are, one thing is
certain: all mandalas lead to the same path towards inner wellness. So choose
the one you connect with the most, and join our community!

FAQS

 

WHAT IS AN NFT?

It stands for "non-fungible token” and is data that is stored or accounted for
in a digital ledger, and represents a piece of art, music or other forms of
digital files.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW MANY ARE BEING MINTED, AND OVER HOW MANY DROPS?

There will be around 10 drops. The total minted volume will be 2,495 NFTs
(including partnerships and giveaways).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW MANY NFTS CAN BE MINTED WITH THE SAME WALLET?

You can mint up to 10 NFTs with the same wallet.

WHERE CAN I BUY OR SELL SOLMANDALAS?

On this website during the mint, and on secondary markets in the future.
Secondary markets will be confirmed closer to the mint date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW MANY OF THE TOTAL 2,495 NFT'S WILL BE RESERVED FOR GIVEAWAYS?

We are reserving just under 10% (333) NFTs for partnerships & giveaways.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IS THERE A PRE-SALE?

Yes! If you join our Discord, you can achieve an OG-Mandala role - which gives
you access to the presale - by being involved, engaged, active, etc!

WHERE CAN I VIEW MY SOLMANDALAS?

We recommend using either Phantom or Solflare - both are awesome!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY THE STRANGE NUMBER CONVENTION?

0 is a perfect circle with a vortex of creative power at its center.

1 is a strong assertive symbol of individuality - it represents the beginning of
self-discovery and self-empowerment.

2 is the number of union, balance, co-creation - very relevant for generative
art - a collaboration between the machine and the artist.

3 is the number of community - without which the project would suffer.


MEET THE TEAM

 
 

We are a team of people who work together in the real world. 

SolMandalas was started by Daniel Hirschmann - a physical/digital artist who
uses creative technology at the core of his work. His artwork has been exhibited
at the Centre Pompidou (FR), V&A and Science Museum (UK), the Whitney Museum of
American Art and National Portrait Gallery (US). His work can be found in the
permanent collection of the London Design Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in
NY.  

He founded Hirsch & Mann in 2010 - an art & technology studio whose mission is
to create memorable digital and physical experiences in the world and online.
The entire team and some alumni worked extremely hard to bring this project to
reality - including (alphabetically): Joanne Harik, Edmund Oetgen, Miklos Onody,
George Profenza, Adam Ray-Braun, Roberto Weiser, Martin White as well as
@HSorta, 0xAlice, and years of learning thanks to Processing & P5JS.

None of us are meditation experts, but after a pandemic and the exciting wild
west of blockchain projects, we wanted to deepen our own meditation and wellness
practices so we can all become better versions of ourselves.
