Polychora NFT Collection: Bridging the Physical and Digital Realms in Geometric Art

Pardesco's "Polychora" series is a groundbreaking exploration of the intersection between art, mathematics, and technology. This unique collection comprises two distinct yet interconnected facets: a series of physical 1/1 sculptures available on Artrade.app, and an ongoing digital NFT series showcased on Rarible.com.

The physical "Polychora" sculptures are tangible manifestations of complex, noble uniform polychora, crafted through a blend of traditional and cutting-edge techniques. Each piece, such as the "48-Cell" bronze sculpture, embodies the beauty of mathematics and the precision of technology.

These sculptures are first modeled digitally using Rhino 3D and Grasshopper software, then brought to life through sophisticated 3D printing and bronze casting processes. The result is a collection of timeless, innovative artworks that capture the essence of their mathematical foundations.

Despite their modest size, these sculptures invite close observation and contemplation, revealing a universe of geometric and mathematical intricacies. They serve as tangible manifestations of abstract mathematical theory, offering a glimpse into the remarkable intersection of art, geometry, and technology.

The Digital Frontier: Rarible

Polychora 3D Models
In parallel to the physical sculptures, Pardesco's digital "Polychora" NFT series pushes the boundaries of digital art. This ongoing collection features .glb files (digital 3D models) of polychora, breathing life into the abstract constructs of mathematics within the virtual realm.

The digital series begins its journey in the mathematical wonderland of Stella 4D, where the mysteries of four-dimensional space are revealed. Each piece is then refined using Rhino 3D and Grasshopper, ensuring physical integrity for potential 3D printing. Algorithmic vertex coloring enhances the sculptures' dimensional depth, while Blender's digital sculpting tools provide the final artistic touches.

The meticulous optimization of each model into .glb files ensures that the pieces are ready for their debut in virtual galleries and the broader metaverse. The digital "Polychora" series invites viewers to experience the beauty and complexity of these geometric forms in an interactive, immersive way.

A Unified Vision
Together, the physical and digital "Polychora" series offer a comprehensive exploration of the interplay between art, mathematics, and technology. Each 1/1 piece, whether tangible or virtual, is a unique testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and the potential for art to bridge the gap between the abstract and the concrete.

As Pardesco continues to expand both facets of the "Polychora" collection, collectors and enthusiasts have the opportunity to engage with these works in multiple ways – either by acquiring the physical sculptures through Artrade.app or by exploring the digital models on Rarible.com.

Ultimately, the "Polychora" series is more than just a collection of artworks; it is an invitation to journey through the veil of the familiar into the expanse of four-dimensional space, to witness the dance of form and number, and to experience the frontier of art in both the physical and digital realms.
