You are looking at an immutable, self-describing digital object.
One of 10,000 generative works.
But the artworks now exist within something much larger:
• the original onchain generator
• the migration across chains
• the onchain Rosetta Stone apparatus that’s designed to allow an unknown future observer to recover, reconstruct and verify the entire collection.
Put simply, OCM Genesis is now capable of carrying its own interpretive bridge through deep time.
Not just preserving its bytes.
Preserving the knowledge required to understand what those bytes were intended to become.
The art is no longer just the art.
The collection’s survival, recovery and interpretation have all become part of the conceptual work.
You are witnessing a new form of conceptual digital art.
One that pushes what’s possible into an exciting (and frankly mind-blowing) new territory/category:
Permanence isn’t simply a property 𝐨𝐟 the artwork anymore.
The concept of permanence itself is 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 the artwork. 👀
@huuep is out here literally redefining permanence! 🤯
Probably worth holding some imo. 💎
