Planetary Noodle Layers Save climate data as generative art on the Blockchain
noodlelayers.com
Each PNL is seeded by user-submitted climate observations that are procedurally generated into abstract art by our algorithms. Every piece of the 365 NFTs represent an individual’s unique connection with our climate at a specific moment, saved in abstract - & in perpetuity. Mint cost is 1 SOL. Released in Feb 2022.

Origins The name is based on the Planetary Boundary Layer - the part of the atmosphere that interacts with the surface of the planet. The idea is inspired by generative NFT art collections like Fidenza by Tyler Hobbs and Chromie Squiggle on ArtBlocks. We take it a step further by involving the user in the creative process and using mother nature as the generative algorithm. In essence, this collection stored on the blockchain, will forever show the connection between today’s climate and those who lived in it.
This collection is a finished artefact on release. User co-creation is an unexplored avenue for Art NFTs. By asking users to seed the art with their observations, we are offering added value upfront and a reason to think twice before selling it. Minters are a part of the creative process & will have more sentimental attachment. Those living in unique weather conditions will generate more unique results. This is Art, not fundraising. You don’t need to trust us to deliver a roadmap after the mint.
Our commitments 3% royalty on future sales. 20% of mint proceeds donated to positive climate initiatives. 1% yearly earnings reserved for Crypto Giving Pledge. Future 1/1 auctions using data from climate disasters to raise funds for those adversely affected.
Environmental Impact We calculate our energy usage to be about 0.002551389 kWh per NFT. We are using Solana as it is currently, a more sustainable blockchain due to Proof-of-Stake. Buying one Solana NFT uses approximately the energy needed for 2 Google searches.
Future 1/1 & Limited edition Auctions using metadata from global climate events. Sold to raise funds for affected communities - also owners have a life-time whitelist for future seasons. 1/1 Auctions are also opportunities for collaborations with other Artists. Potential to develop OpenGL Live, animated versions. Metaverse Weather Station - Portals Gallery & Auction house for our collectors. Develop a collection explorer/global map of each piece. Future proofing collection to ensure decentralisation. Potential Second Season in 2022.
FAQ We do not save your exact location. Meteorological readings come from the network of devices located in your area. Unless you live where a device is installed, exact accuracy is not feasible. We still recommend you use a burner wallet.
How long? After the observation window closes, production of the art will take 1-3 days.
