Law & Policy

Hans Haacke’s usage of the 1971 Siegelaub-Projanksy agreement for his Condensation Cube artwork in 1972.

Each Transfer Agreement and Record is an analog equivalent of digital blockchain ledger entries for decentralized art. The beginning of provenance is shown in the first and second transfers, including names, price, and date. 1st Transfer : Thilo Liemersdorf. 2nd Transfer : Dr. Adolf Luther. 

The NOTICE associated with the artwork gives legal notice to all buyers of the artwork collectors that they are bound by the agreement, and can serve as a certificate of authenticity (COA) as well. The notice is an analog equivalent of contemporary NFTs, when used for these functions. 

Examples of the contract usage are sourced from Maria Eichhorn’s book, The Artist’s Contract.

We've released a simple tool for those running on AWS: https://github.com/warpcast/awsh

The Snapchain team has been running a number performance tests to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the Rust implementation. These tests run in our AWS environment because of the quick setup+teardown convenience.

However, connecting to these instances and dealing with SSH keys in a security-conscious way has always been a pain, along with managing host key verification of a constantly revolving list of reused IP addresses. Why not get rid of the need for SSH client keys + host keys entirely?

AWS EC2 Instance Connect has the tooling, but it doesn't work like the ssh executable does so it feels clumsy. We've merged the tools with a simple script to make it easy to hop on boxes in your environment.

1/ About "Lateral Thinking Withered Technology" 「枯れた技術の水平思考」

Gunpei Yokoi, one of the main architects of Nintendo's original Game Boy, and many other hits like Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, etc -- I think this used to be one of his mottos. An interesting thing that Nintendo did was they meticulously understood that their way of competing with the market was not latest state of the art technology -- but rather to utilize mature (used to be cutting edge but now is now) technology - to do something fun, exciting and give an experience to the customer

There's a story about How Yokoi and his team was about to release the Game Boy, and some Nintendo engineer got concerned about a competitors product. Yokoi asked them, is the screen color? and they said yes (the original gameboy was monochrome) and he was like phew, that's great. They constrained themselves to use a "reliable" technology like monochrome displays at the time which cost significantly less - and had longer battery life
