After reading about the Musikalisches Würfelspiel (“musical dice game”) used by composers in the classical era, I adapted that concept to try create an IRL generative artwork.

Subsitituing the dice for a coin, I let coin flips decide on where the artwork should go, whether the curves should be filled or not, and other aspects of the final artwork such as the border.

Once the page was filled, the NFT artwork that you see is the end result.

Using a SVG optimiser, I was able to get the generated file down to 61kb

And I was aware of the excellent Manifold Extension by diid that friends had used to put SVGs fully on-chain.

However, 61kb would normally be cost prohibitive to deploy.

Fortunately, I was able to use his yet-to-be-released latest version which supports SVGZ compression, reducing the cost significantly.

You can confirm it is fully on-chain via the contract tokenURI method - not 'just a URL to a JPEG' Elon.
