Provenance

On February 17th 2006, Noam Galai took a picture of himself screaming. He posted it to his Flickr account and called his self-portrait, “Screaming for Help.” People liked it. They really liked it. Some were inspired. Inspired enough to steal it. After many thousands of versions have been found all around the world, it's now known as “the Stolen Scream.” It is considered one of the most stolen photographs of all time. Today, leveraging the power of blockchain and NgraphT's new digital identity platform, Noam is reclaiming his likeness and original artwork with a unique NFT collection.

Grogu is the cutest thing to come out of Star Wars since that sexually charged kiss between the magic light sword guy and his sister! You must have one for your nerdy collection even though your partner said "no more toys, you're 32 years old!" Everywhere has sold out, but you find something in the dumpster out the back of Forbidden Planet. It's not great but it's good enough to feel like you achieved something today! Plus it was free so you'll only be sleeping on the sofa for a few nights!

Since my last book came out in 2017 I've been developing a huge story project. One part of this project is a character called The Endling. Over the last 5 years I've been creating art to give people a taste of her world, all while building the overall story in the background. I have a lot of art, some of which has already been minted & collected on SuperRare, KnownOrigin & Foundation. But I decided it was time to create a proper collection, and the platform I chose was Foundation. To begin with, I decided to go with the most popular pieces that so far I had been reluctant to mint. They are called 'Duel' and 'Yaeko's Ambush' and are intended to look a little like they are stills from an animated series, even if the aspect ratio doesn't match. Endling's story will be delivered in multiple mediums, and the art pieces are intended as glimpses - hints of something much bigger, and often rendered as a play on those mediums. Meaning - it might look a little like an anime, maybe in the story world there is an anime. Stories within stories, mythologies within mythologies. Tales told around a campfire or on an old VHS tape. And so much more to come...

Artwork.In this ever-going world, we are facing challenging times. Many of the problems we observe today are consequences of societies adhering to binary oppositions even when they no longer make sense. The world isn't binary, and our thinking shouldn’t be either. Generative art disturbs our habits, our certainties. It breaks binary boundaries. It forces us to look beyond conventions. With the "not-so-binary world" collection, it’s about Orient meeting Occident.Learn more at: https://www.fxhash.xyz/article/a-not-so-binary-worldGeometry.At the confluence of aesthetics and algorithms, our artwork takes on a geometric abstraction, in which intricate patterns of isoscele triangles and, later, alternating colours are calculated to shift under our eyes, to produce movement, metamorphosis and fluidity in the form of hypnotic mashrabiyas.Shortcuts: [click] Shift triangles by 90°, [1] Readjust triangles, [move around] Inject entropy, [p] Print png.Collaboration.This project is a collaboration between sha22.art, Egoes4 and Antonino.
