Description

“Memes Outside” examines the gap between our lives online and the world offline by placing digital art in dialogue with physical street art. *"Memes Outside: The Book" is an interactive photobook* To bridge our online, digital worlds into the offline, physical world we need to bring our memes out from behind the screens they live on. "Memes Outside: The Book" is a CC0 book that can be printed by anyone, anywhere. It has been designed as a physical artefact that is intended to be personalised, or in the vocabulary of the blockchain "be made non-fungible". *The owner of this token is the brave and generous soul who has released this book into the world as CC0.* Inside its pages is the entire collection of "Memes Outside" with an introduction for your normie friends and QR codes taking you to each piece and further reading. There is also plenty of white space for you to draw and doodle in. *How to use this book* When first printed, this book is identical to all other copies. My hope is that you make it uniquely yours. Mark these pages with pen, pencil, stickers, coffee - anything. Take it with you out into the world and have an offline adventure. If the ideas in here spark something in you, please share! Details on how to are in the back. *The Memes Outside Ecosystem* Visit https://articulating.art to see the entire collection of digital images minted as NFTs. If you would like to support the project please buy one of the main collection images and pay royalties, or visit https://app.manifold.xyz/c/memes-outside-open for a Memes Outside poster at 0.005 ETH. *Metadata Notes* This NFT contains links to the Arweave repository of the book in various formats: - 6x9 with cover: the most common format used by Amazon - A5 with and without cover: A5 is half an A4 page, the most economical format to print on most personal or work printers - Link to the 3D-readable model of the book, stored on IPFS and hosted on my own custom node. If you appreciate the model please consider pinning it to your own IPFS node, and thank you! Both versions (6x9, A5) have their own internationally valid ISBNs and barcodes. They should be able to be sold in most bookstores around the world. You can order the 6x9 versions via Amazon.com. Search for "Memes Outside Book" They are priced at the print cost only - no mark-up and no royalties. If you print your own copies, 100gsm paper for the interior pages is enough to give a pleasant yet cost-effective feel to the book. **Additional Metadata Notes** This specific token was actually minted in December 2022, when OpenSea threatened artists with a freeze on recognising new contracts. This will be the third update to the metadata for this particular token, and for provenance I include the first and second iterations - also stored on Arweave.
