you're probably wondering... what is perma? perma is a photo exchange network where every camera becomes a node within the network, and every photo taken becomes a digital asset that is owned, shared, and authenticated across the internet.

perma will begin as a mobile app where you can easily develop photos onchain and instantly share it with three random people within the network. the three random people was inspired by the 1970s movement of mail/correspondence art, where a network of artist sent images, art, and letters to each other via the postal system 🤯

this is reprint of the original book in the 70s called the 'international image exchange directory' it was an entire book of 1000s of artist names, addresses, and a request for images. the image bank (1969) were the main facilitator of this artist network: https://vincenttrasov.ca/index.cfm?pg=archive

the image bank has an incredible history with nearly 60+ years of postcards/images/objects exchanged an lifelong friendships that were formed across the globe. the co-founders of the image bank michael morris (1942-2022) and vincent trasov (1947-present) basically built a 'proto-blockchain' without even knowing it. we went to visit vincent... he lives in a small village new berlin!

vincent was in his early 20s when he started the image bank. he's now 77 years old and is still a practicing artist and an avid gardener along with his wife. here he is showing us a few of the gardens around the village! he was so welcoming and friendly!
