Description

An hour after receiving the Axidraw A1 from Evil Mad Scientist and the various parts were assembled, Monoliths #000 was in the works, and it remained so for 3 days (with pauses, not many ). There had been no trial or test. It was my first plotter work at this scale, a genesis piece of sorts, and for that reason I wanted to give it a treatment similar to the Oak Tree : cut it in small pieces and distribute it as NFTs+physical. This is when the idea of using fx_hash started to grow, and obsessed me for days. It appeared that it wasn't technically possible to distribute a finite ensemble of exclusive items across minters. This is the only thing that saved Monoliths #000 from becoming a decentralized physical drawing. But the seed was planted, and that seed would be Monoliths #000. Its exact algorithm and variables setup serve as a basis for all the "Monoliths" in "Garden, Monoliths". A common ancestor. This NFT is bound to the physical drawing : - Pen plotter drawing made from original generative design coded in Javascript - Watercolor Sheet 300g/m², 56 x 76 cm, 100% cotton, Cylinder mould, Hot Pressed Natural white, 4 Deckle edges, Watermark, from Arches (France) - Plotted with Axidraw SE/A1 using Rotring Isographs / 1.0, 0.5, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1 mm. - Inks : Rotring China Black, Rohrer & Klingner Sketch Lilly, Platinum Citrus Black, Robert Oster Signature Lemon Grass, and Faber Castell May Green - Plotting time : about 50 hours. There are visible artefacts on the physical drawing : - little cross with pencil showing the start zero to synchronise the various layer runs - two straight lines with ink on the left part, as the result of a relief on the paper and a too low "pen high" position, very early in the process. I decided to keep it. - signed in pencil at the bottom right - title, year, and 1/1 The NFT image is not a photograph of the physical drawing, but it is made directly from the exact source file that was used to control the pen plotter. Format : PNG Resolution :3684x5000 - Shipping worldwide is included. Should the owner trade the NFT, he would be inclined to transfer the physical drawing as well, although the specific terms of that trade would no longer be of the artist's concern.
