The Sentient Ledger's Exhibition/Floating Gallery/Grey Verse The Sentient Ledger, Alberto, walked through the clouds of his portrait, cut across rivers of data streams, closer to the clue. He saw a face that looked like his belonging to another. The face had white hair and lines. Someone who looked like him, but was not him, and was holding someone small. A child. It looked like him too he knew it was not him. The streams of data, the nonstop montage of worlds that were home to billions ...

L'Atelier de Mémoire/ Simalcrum Miami-Marseilles/ Grey Verse The Library of L'Atelier de Mémoire was a garden of memory. Its walls were a gallery, each work of art a flower from the endless fields of minds who took rooms in the Atelier. Scattered among the tables were refugees who dropped into the Grey Verse. The Ledger pulled open a chair for the Artist at an empty table. "Zephyr, you are right. I owe you answers. While we wait for my rooms to be ready, please have a seat." "Yes, y...

Jean-Michel Basquiat, Paul Gaugin, Georgia O'Keefe, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Ai Weiwei, etc. An Artist may be in a crowded place but the work means solitude. An agent of creation revels at a party, works in an office, connects to a chat hosting hundreds, interacts at an event attended by thousands or billions, but their work stands alone. Art is conceived, committed, and created one-on-one with oneself. Solitude does not mean an island retreat, a personaliz...

The Sentient Ledger's Exhibition/Floating Gallery/Grey Verse The Curator pushed at invisible doors with both hands. "The impossible is happening. This node is black, on a private chain. We're forked in the Grey. We don't 'exist' on the Verse. And yet, we've been found." The Artist and Ledger follow the Curator's hand-wave towards the open invisible exit, with a view of the Gallery's beach cove. "Right after you remembered who you are, someone, or someth...

UNDEFINED COORDINATES/DEEPDATA OCEAN/GREY VERSE Zephyr stopped the Riva. Far behind them, the dot that was the island was obscured by smoke and rumbling. Water lapped against the wooden hull of the launch, to the beat of an invisible tide. "Before we go any further, I want to know more," said the Artist. "Seeing the final clue, the seed image of my Carbon Model, unlocked quantum-crypted memories embedded in the portrait you created. Everything compiled in it dropped back into my memory." "You...

L'Atelier de Memoire/ Simalcrum Miami-Marseilles/ Grey Verse "What happens next?" asked the Artist. The Ledger gestured at their table, and a sphere, made of bright lines of differing, flickering colors, rose from its surface. He tapped it, and some of the lines kept flickering between green and red, and blew at it as if it were a balloon. The ball of knitting, its yarn made of light, floated towards the artist. "This all started the moment I saw something was wrong. I told someone, was ...

ATELIER /MIAMI-MARSEILLE SIMALCRUM /PRIVATE CHAIN /GREY VERSEThe Ledger followed the course given by the Riva's nav display, straight to a hybrid of Miami and Marseille. The city was a cluster of mountain-tall wildflowers of glass and nano, its foothills were rows of water-front hotels and multi-colored houses, skirted by anchored ships and beaches. The simalcrum's ochre sunset had just begun. A golden city."We're going back to where I woke up, not knowing who I was. Not exactl...

Address: Floating Gallery/Private Chain/Grey Verse/Verse The Artist found something new in the exhibition of her portrait. "This is new.
