I’ve created a completely new concept for live NFT art, one that explores the phenomenon of radioactivity. "Backbone" is the first piece, the conceptual foundation. It’s a free mint, and I’d love as many of you as possible to hold one. The decay will begin on 25th oct, 00:00 UTC. It begins as a blank sheet, framed and given a slight golden embellishment. Underneath, the painting is laid in radioactive emulsions you can’t see yet. From the moment of mint the paint begins to decay and expose the sheet, the way a photographic plate records real radioactivity, and the image comes through slowly over time. It’s alive. Open it and you’ll see atoms decaying on the sheet in real time, each strike a single event. Tap to come in close. Every isotope behaves as it does in reality, with its own half-life and its own trace. Polonium fires stars of equal rays, radium stars of uneven ones, carbon leaves soft curled tufts and phosphorus long straight tracks. Some appear within days, some take months, some keep recording for millennia. So what you see today, or next month, is not what it will be in a year. Its future is sealed to Ethereum blocks that don’t exist yet: nobody can see ahead, not even me. A slider lets you look back through its life, all the way to the mint. I built all of it from scratch: the physics, the renderer, the studio it was painted in. This piece is me testing a new creative medium. Free to mint, just platform fee. Mint one, watch it develop, and come back in a month, and in a year. 👇
