Transparency time: Working on the next iteration of Checks and itching to share some of the ideas/revisions/thinking. Went back and forth on doing this — but ultimately, the process is as much a part of the art as the ar…

This began life as a single piece of artwork, captioned: "This artwork may or may not be notable" Priced at $8 per edition, a nod to the new meta of "purchasing" status. No prizes for guessing the very notable "legacy" a…

An edition limited by time only (a nod to the idea that the only requirement to get a check, was $8). It ran 24 for hours on @ourZORA, and 16,031 identical pieces were minted.

This piece from March 2021 "NFTs, explained." contains the genesis of this idea: Since then I have been exploring the overlap between social contracts, NFTs, digital provenance, what art is, how it evolves, and who decid…

@visualizevalue @naval While I think this would make a great artistic statement, it leaves the possibility open for someone to burn the art they purchased and get nothing in return. It's the original piece, sliced in to…

@visualizevalue @naval In my agency art director days, I always used to start with wikipedia if I was trying to find a creative angle on something that was rooted in truth. Full transparency, the 80 checks in the origina…

Some new wireframe sketches informed by our semiperfect concept, and true to the invisible grid of the original piece: 80, 40, 20, 10, 5, 4, 1, 0

Recruited the legendary @jalil_eth & @traf to build some proper tech for the next round. Below courtesy of the giga talented @traf (all this animation is done in-browser)

@jalil_eth @traf Current working mechanic (not final): Burn your edition for an on-chain original. Burn 2 originals for the next smallest edition original. 80 > 40 > 20 > 10 > 5 > 4 > 1 Stop wherever you like.

"Token as canvas" enables this connection and interactivity, and the underlying infrastructure is as much a part of the work as the visual component. Without it, the piece has an entirely different (and limited) meaning.

after careful consideration we're going to adjust the mechanism to only allow for one opepen to be opted-in to a single set at a time currently there's a "waterfall" type logic where you can opt into multiple, but it's d…

listened to opepen space thanks all for the candid thoughts agreed that consensus on the full sets is very difficult to get through at the moment, partly attention elsewhere, partly complexity, partly marketing, etc some…
