Orthogone is an NFT piece of art made by artist Pandelune and which was on minted on artblocks.io.
Inspiration and background
I discovered Orthogone when working on very formal forms (actually rectangles) and trying to put rhythm and variation on it.
Orthogone should be read left to right. It has a double ricochet structure: a main one, with colored rectangles, echoed with white, smaller rectangles. I like to see it as a semi fractal structure where the eye gets trapped and tries again and again to find out the underlying structure.
One can also see a set of buildings seen from above, with balconies and terraces.

About Orthogone and Pandelune
About the author
I am Pandelune, the author of Orthogone, Murano Fantasy and Reverie.
As a teen, I was fascinated by the Demoscene, and by computer art in general, especially ray tracing.
When I was in high school, computers were not connected to the internet. I used to develop random based art using whatever language was available on these computers, and let it run for hours, just to impress whoever passed by. Think of random ASCII art. I'm in love with computer graphics and random numbers since then.

Original description (from artblocks.io)
'Orthogone' is a succession of main colored rectangles, echoed with white - sometimes black - rectangles.
You may guess buildings or squared ricochets, and sense the underlying rhythm.
For the colors, I used the color-scheme.js library by Brian Hann.
