Heart + Craft

A generated block-heart, made with Jordan Lyall and his team, that also acts as a blueprint for making a physical object.

The image is the start. The token's files, the owner's making process, and a bridge into send/receive carry the rest.

About this work

Overview

A generated block-heart, made with Jordan Lyall and his team, that also acts as a blueprint for making a physical object.

How It Works

Released as an Inclusive Edition, each token generates a block heart whose geometry doubles as a plan for physically making the object. The concept, design, coloring system, and 3D block idea are mine; Jordan Lyall and his team built the algorithm.

Deeper Layer

Underneath sit fabrication files, the owner's own making process, and feature metadata. When send/receive arrived two years later, I built a converter so a Heart could travel into it.

The official project links below explain the files and the making process.

What People Miss

Every heart doubles as a blueprint for a physical object.

Place In The Path

The clearest step from digital output to owner-made physical object, bridging Friendship Bracelets, ///, and send/receive.
