TOUCH
THE ART.

This series is inspired by my physical magnetic works that allow the viewer to manipulate the pieces of the work to create customized arrangements. The mantra of ‘touch the art’ was concieve after telling my son to ‘not touch the art’ at galleries. I did not like the feeling of telling someone to not experience art in a tactile way.

Digital Collection

Tech Epochalypse is meant to engage viewers and give them the opportunity to control the final output of the work. The suite of control layers lead to options. This is the first release with this level of functionality and will be the building blocks for future experiential releases. Tech Epochalypse is built on the ERC-7160 token standard which allow the tokens to evolve over time.

These works were created to inspire new thoughts each time they are viewed, so for this reason layouts cannot be saved. Once the art is reloaded, the layout starts fresh and inspires a new expression.

Control Layers

Symbolic of the many ways we are all tracked and harvested from on a daily basis, each of these visual control layers shine a light so we can become aware of what is happening around and to us.

User-enabled Composition:

X/Y movement: Pieces of the portrait can be moved and customized by clicking and dragging.

Z Depth movement: Clicking a piece moves it back one depth level at a time. Once the 15th and final depth level is reached, the piece loops back to the start.

Drop-down menu interactions:

Animations are engaged using the "3D" and "FLY" buttons

All 5 control layers can be toggled and in combination.

Pieces can be temporarily removed from the canvas by dragging them over the trash icon.

The composition returns to its original state via the "RESET" button.

Physical Collection

Physical 3D mangetic works will be available for token holders. Cost is separate from the digital work. More details to follow. 

I never planned for this project to happen. The fact that it did happen is why I am creating this project. I want to tell the story of the impermenance and fragility of fiat currency, and explaining it all through my own experience.
