Split NFT Collection by Artist Piero

The "Split" collection, created by artist Piero, is a generative art series that explores the concept of recursion in a visual format. Starting with a single square, this series uses a recursive process to split the initial shape into a myriad of interconnected rectangles, each generating smaller versions of itself. This process results in a complex and intricately balanced composition of rectangles of varying sizes. The series effectively demonstrates how a simple form can evolve into a detailed and complex structure through the power of recursive division.

As of 2024, all 256 pieces in the "Split" collection have been minted, with a current floor price of 0.85 DOT and a total volume of 245.5779 DOT. The collection has attracted 137 owners, and about 41% of the minted pieces, specifically 107 out of 256, are currently listed. This collection stands out for its mathematical and algorithmic approach to art, offering a unique visual representation of a fundamental computing concept. Learn more
