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.

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
