The color scheme on this website is inspired by Constitutional Wampum by Robert Houle. This is a tribute to the convergence in that work between the long legacy of political protocol-building through wampum belts in Indigenous communities of North America and a pixelated aesthetic that evokes life in the digital world. The concept of protocol, too, is a place where the ancient and the most recent technologies converge.
The site uses the following protocol to generate the colorful wampum style grid.
First we generate a sigil by removing spaces, turning to lowercase, removing anything that isn't a consonant, removing repeat letters, find the unicode character number, and finally get the digital root of those numbers. From there the sigil digits are used to choose a color from our pallet.
