FXHash FXHash.xyz had just been released in BETA. As my first project on FXHash, I wanted to see what I could do in Pure Javascript – the generative piece packaged up weighed in at 3.1KB. Inspiration The project was inspired by the Joy Division Unknown Pleasures album cover, which was taken from research plottings of pulsar signals.
