DEAFBEEF Series 3: Entropy - Token 144

DEAFBEEF: Generative On-Chain Multimedia Art

The code and parameters to generate and reconstruct these multimedia files is stored on
the Ethereum blockchain.

Series 3 - Entropy - Token 144

Exploring themes of permanency, ownership through on-chain programmable media. A programmed process of degradation is repeatedly applied each time the token is transferred. Traded too many times, the output media will be indistinguishable from noise.

The process is artificial, in that no information is actually lost. The code model itself is stored publically and immutably on a decentralized network, and the output media can be reconstructed in any state by changing the input parameter. While it is the artist's instructions that the counter variable serve as input, an owner may choose differently.
