About provenance and data permanence. I can’t stress enough the importance of the bitcoin blocks. Museums will start to acquire and preserve works on Bitcoin. The simplicity of protocols such as Ordinals lies here. The museum of the future will feature the block # of a given work. Flora Form is in the Belvedere’s permanent collection. https://x.com/lukefivehundred/status/1906416855637463493

An edition of 16, offered as Prints on /gamma. MCE Flying Fish, 100% JavaScript, is inspired by DEPTH, a 1955 work by the Dutch Master and pioneer in impossible graphics and OP Art. MC Escher and William J. Kolomyjec, known as Dr. Bill, share many things in common. For example, both have seen some recognition late in their seventies... 😊
