This is an art about the special geometry of a grid and graphic patterns on it that build the endless circuits characteristic of the knot in an endless sequence from the simplest toward the most complex.
What is the purpose?
The knot is unique among all known things in the infinitely different forms it can be.
Taking a lead from blockchain's decentralization, a system is developed that grows an endless registry by autonomously creating the knots that add to the sequence this art is made to build.
That blockchain influence puts this art of the knot in the position of representing the value of art, and using the Internet in a creative way to address issues of value and trust head-on.
The world is growing less and less comfortable with traditional models of trust, and this art creates a new concept of value it can trust. It is one that can continue to grow in relevance as a belief in this sequence of knots continuing growing forever creates a new concept of capital.
That was the elevator speech. What can be imagined as this moving into the future is in the White Paper of http://www.greatknot.com.

A taste of the way the sequence grows continues here with the next combination; four four crossing knots with two three crossing knots; the twentieth design in a beginning of the serialized mental construct of the infinite that this art is about.
This uses seven of the nine modules in a square to identify this unique knot with the value of modules 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 and 101 in the Cryptoknot protocol. These tokenized numbers will never be associated with any other entity but the immutable combination of four four crossing knots combined with two three crossing knots, and this, as the second of six combinations with three crossing knot additions to a four four crossing combination formalizes an obvious Cryptoknot structural requirement for capping every open loop to make every knot complete before, in this case, the necessity for a single five crossing knot; the next-in-sequence; is added to the progression of combinations.
