"Dear FineArtKrypto, Thank you so much for collecting an AGAPE token and joining us on this exciting journey. I’m looking forward to working together to grow and strengthen the Miami community of digital and IRL artists. It’s an honor to share this experience with you. From one art lover to another, I can’t wait to see what we’ll create together. Jenifer Pepen Aquino (SirenAi)"byUnrealcity
"The 105 Collective’s 0xquisite Corpse is our third major digital artwork, building on the innovation of our genesis piece, More Than Glass (2020) and our second production, The Imaginarium (2023), our contribution to the massively collaborative Forever Supper work. 0xquisite Corpse consists of four 1/1 jointly created artworks in a collection built on Transient Labs’ Dynamic Art Engine and tokenized on a single ERC-721TL contract. 0xquisite Corpse has roots deep in dreams, chance and the surrealist practices which explore them: you might be familiar with the parlour game of “Consequences”, in which a player writes a phrase on a sheet of paper, folds it over and passes it on to the next player, who adds another part and so on, until a collaborative text is created. This game inspired a group of Surrealists – including Yves Tanguy, Jacques Prévert, Marcel Duchamp and André Breton – to invent a similar amusement based on graphics rather than text: the first player draws the top of an object, folds it over with only a sliver remaining as a prompt and passes it to the next player, who adds another part, and so on, until a collaborative composition owing as much to chance and coincidence as intentionality and design is created. This practice came to be known as Cadavre Exquis (Exquisite Corpse), originating from a Consequences sentence with particular Surrealist appeal: “Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau” (“The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine”). The 105 Collective’s 0xquisite Corpse is our digital take on this artmaking process, exploiting the unique aesthetic opportunities of the Dynamic Art Engine. The piece is the final expression of an extraordinary three-year journey for us, with the initial inspiration bubbling up from our first face-to-face meeting at the Surrealism Beyond Borders exhibition at the Tate Modern in July 2021. We were all wowed by Ted Joans’ incredible 36-foot long Exquisite Corpse drawing Long Distance, a mail art extravaganza which took nearly 30 years to complete and united contributions from over 130 artists from around world. As a group preoccupied by collaborative creation, transnational identity, dreams, symbolism and the connection between the random and the inevitable, it’s perhaps not surprising that we felt this was an instruction from the subconscious on what our third joint work should be. We created a template and system whereby each artist created a “head,” covering the top portion of the drawing, before handing it to the next artist to continue the piece, according to a carefully worked out system for passing the creative baton. To further deepen the digital dimension of the work, we made the Corpses dynamic, cycling through four iterations in correspondence with specific times of day – Dawn (5am to 9am), Day (9am to 5pm), Dusk (5pm to 9pm) and Night (9pm to 5am). The changes are synced to the viewer’s local timezone and can be experienced in real time. Once completed, we used both Consequences practices and AI to generate names for each of the four Corpses, from which Unrealcity and oculardelusion composed unique textual sketches, one for each Corpse, to further explore and enhance their identities. While this piece is strongly rooted in analogue practices as with our previous pieces, 0xquisite Corpse is digitally native: it could neither have been conceived nor appreciated without digital capabilities as part of its aesthetic intent. The title 0xquisite Corpse itself plays on this digital nativity, the orthography “0x” referring to a prefix used in hexadecimal numbers and commonly seen in Ethereum addresses and smart contracts. According to André Breton, Surrealism is a means of uniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience into “an absolute reality, a surreality.” 0xquisite Corpse reflects that union of dreams and the mundane, the union of Surrealist concepts with the opportunities of dynamic digital art and blockchain, and – most importantly – the union of the random and the inevitable that we would be foolish to write off as mere coincidence. Just as we as an art collective were excited and renewed by the generation of 0xquisite Corpse, we hope the final piece continues to excite and renew your appreciation of the possibilities of digital art in the cryptospace."byUnrealcity
