About
the Drop

These are artworks from a dual-world. In the meticulous transform of oil to digital, they explore psychedelic and Transhuman identity as an audiovisual meditation. Built with Manifold, their smart contracts contain AI influences and other Easter Eggs, adding new layers of context to each piece.

The artworks offered in this collection are both physical and digital. As the foundation of the internet is analog, so are these oil paintings, uniquely layered to engage space and light. And as the virtual world projects from the real, these digital animations evolve from traditional imagery.  The processes for either are labor intensive, each painted, and repainted exhaustively to achieve their ultimate forms. A “proof of work” methodology is therefore inherent to each item.

The art contains emergent visuals derived from a surreal “mind manifesting” exploration.  They are artifacts pertinent to the ways in which personal transformations are both corporeal and psychological.  Their digital metamorphosis anticipates our loss of the human form in the wake of Transhuman technology. The NFT’s are designed as audio-visual meditations to encourage reflection of these questions of identity.

Each NFT is built on a Manifold contract, and the artist contract signature is an ascii artwork developed from Stable Diffusion AI renderings.  Other small easter eggs are hidden in the smart contracts, offering more context to the art, as well as (no spoiler) clues to deeper mysteries.
