I have yet to find a precedent in art history for what OCM Genesis has now done.
10,000 artworks whose complete visual corpus can be independently rebuilt from raw Bitcoin data.
Without the original technological environment that birthed them.
Using preservation instructions carried alongside the art itself.
Cryptographically verified and reconstructable pixel-for-pixel using future computational technology that may bear no resemblance to the systems that created it.
The original artworks are vector-based.
But the sixth Digital Rosetta Stone defines a canonical 500 × 500 RGB8 preservation raster for every work.
an exact visual target that future technology can reconstruct regardless of how it renders images.
250,000 precisely defined pixel positions per artwork.
10,000 × 250,000 = 2.5 BILLION pixel positions.
2,500,000,000 positions whose intended visual state is now deterministically recoverable and independently verifiable from the surviving Bitcoin record.
- Browsers can disappear
- JavaScript can disappear
- SVG implementations can disappear
- Ordinals software can disappear
OCM Genesis can now outlive the very technological era that created it!
We are so far past “onchain” art at this point.
@OnChainMonkey have forged an entirely new lane of permanence:
art engineered to outlive its own technological era. 🗿
