PETRI is part of the fxhash interactive minting experience at NFT Show Europe, Valencia, 2022

Attraction, advection, and repulsion are the underlying forces that shape the infinite motion of PETRI. Thousands of particles constantly sense their environment and react to small changes therein according to parametrized rules. The emergent behavior of the collective unfolds on a restricted circular domain, solely graspable through the particle’s movement. They organize themselves in this limited space and test the boundaries. By dispersing the particles, the viewer evokes motion and actively influences the course of the simulation.
