Uploading the Future : A Retrospective of Early Hic et Nunc

In March 2021, Hic et Nunc appeared on the radar of digital artists. In June 2021, however, the platform was hit by its first hacker attack.

Subsequently, a series of discussions on the ecosystem and imaginations of artworks had been emerging among platform users, collectors, and creators. Prior to this, the link between artworks and blockchain or NFTs seemed to only provide a form of identity for digital works; but gradually, works began to take on different forms and modes of presentation.

We would like to capture the timestamp before June 2021, restoring arts’ initial encounters with blockchain and encapsulating their original essence.

2021年三月，Hic et Nunc 出現在數位藝術家們的視野 2021年六月，該平台遭遇第一次駭客攻擊

此後，便開始了一連串平台、藏家和創作者對於生態圈和作品想像的討論。在這之前，作品和區塊鏈或是NFT的連結，似乎只在給了數位作品一種身份，但慢慢地，作品開始有了更多不同的樣貌和呈現方式。

在那之前，我們希望可以將當時的時間戳記凝結在2021年六月之前，還原最初區塊鏈剛剛與藝術作品碰面的那些樣貌。

GNSS are separated into 23 species following the letters of the alphabet, with only J, L, and T missing. Many species are further separated into subspecies. For example, a species D GNSS can be DA subspecies, DB subspecies, or no subspecies (Pure D). This guide will cover examples and common traits of each species starting with the rarest and ending with the most common.

While the species trait is important, each GNSS is a 1/1 generative work of art with many other traits. There are several other quirks in the collection, including "drip", an unsortable trait that I have attempted to compile in the Driplist Gallery
