I am Mag, a street photographer/Artist. Here is a brief profile.

Street photographer & artist searching for beauty hidden in everyday life, started his career in December 2021. Based on the technique of street snapshots, he takes photographs with the theme of moments where reality and fiction are ambiguously intermingled and where there is a blank space for the imagination. He is also challenging unconventional photographic expressions such as collaborations, secondary works, and abstract expressions based on photography.

Please allow me to share my thoughts and announce my new work, "Kyoto Raindrops / Dissemination," which will be released through NFT ART TOKYO 4.

“Kyoto Raindrops / Dissemination" is a multi-chain collection across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Tezos. “Kyoto Raindrops" is a pure street photography piece, and "Dissemination" is a glitched p5.js+WEBGL generative art piece based on "Kyoto Raindrops" photographs.

“Will cryptoart live on?" When I asked myself this question, I was inspired by the ephemeral night rain I encountered during my stay in Kyoto. When I asked myself this question, I was inspired by the ephemeral night rain I encountered during my stay in Kyoto.

Crypto-art feels like an entity that changes, spreads, and propagates like ripples in the rain. It can change within the world of a chain and become the core of a new expression, or it can transcend the differences between chains and propagate expressions and ideas.

The traces of those activities and expressions are perpetuated in the blockchain, propagating and living on. Such nature of crypto art is presented by the pure photography of rain on a night in Kyoto, the chaos caused by various glitches, and the development in multiple chains.

The collection consists of 64 editions for each of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Tezos, for a total of 256 editions. Holders who mint "Kyoto Raindrops" will have "Dissemination" airdropped into their minted wallets, allowing them to experience the pure photography, glitching, and generative artwork. Both photographs and codes are CC0 licensed.

What inspired me to create this work was the sentence "BACK TO THE NFT / ARE YOU ALIVE?" that was part of the theme of NFT ART TOKYO 4.

I have been working with crypto art since December of 2021, and have been involved in its production while being affected by the fluctuations of the market.

The phrase "are you alive?" seemed to me to be a question that was being asked of my own activities and of the cryptoart that I was involved in.

From there, I interpreted the question "Are you alive? and I would like to create a work of art based on my own interpretation of this question.

When we think about the question, "Will cryptoart live on?" the idea occurred to me to consider an approach that asks, "Can cryptoart exist in a multi-chain?" I thought of the idea of a multi-chain approach.

The idea of multi-chain came to mind largely because I have worked with multiple chains, starting with Ethereum, then Bitcoin Ordinals, Tezos, and Solana, and have created work on each of them. I feel that each chain has its own charm.

However, up until now, I have usually selected a particular chain when creating a collection, and have used that chain as a foundation for my conception. However, I have never tried to create a work based on multiple chains, and I felt that it would be a challenge for me, and that it would be meaningful to think about it.

There are several things that I felt during my activities in the multi-chain work. First, each chain has its own characteristics and differences, and each individual has different tastes and values regarding chain selection. I think each chain has its own charm, and I personally respect each chain.

Another thing that I have felt strongly recently is that ideas, technologies, and activities born in one chain can propagate beyond the chain. Random examples include the NFT format of 1/1 and editions, the 0N1 Force chain migration, Bitmap to Solmap, the collaboration between SuperRare and Gamma, the culture of Artists support Artists, and many other movements that cross the chain. I feel there are a number of them.

As I reflected on what I felt at such a multi-chain event, I began to think about the concept, wondering if crypto-art also has the property of propagating beyond the chain.

When I imagined the elements of thought and creativity in the artwork spreading beyond the chain, I thought of the ephemeral rainy night I encountered during my stay in Kyoto for my first solo exhibition. I felt that cryptic art could be seen as an entity that changes, spreads, and propagates like ripples in the rain. With this inspiration, I curated four photographs of rainy nights in Kyoto to create the "Kyoto Raindrops" collection.

I also feel that crypto-art works can change within the world of chains and become the core of new expressions, or that expressions and ideas can propagate across different chains. Perhaps I feel this way because I have experienced not only pure photography, but also collaboration and generative art production based on photography.

Based on this perception, we created the "Dissemination" collection based on photographs of rain we encountered during our stay in Kyoto by our first solo exhibition, combined with generative art that brings chaos and change by glitching in p5.js+WEBGL.

The pure photography and code at the core of this work are both CC0 licensed. We have taken it as an entity that can propagate regardless of chains in the future.

The source code of the work has been uploaded to Github.

One multi-chain crypto-art work that has already been developed is "Disobedients" by Patric Amadon. This work is also influenced by it.

In "Kyoto Raindrops / Dissemination," the approach differs from that of "Disobedients" in the following ways.

• it is limited to the L1 chains where the artist has released his works.

• The number of editions and prices are the same for each chain (although there are some currency fluctuations).

• Ownership and experience of both pure photography and glitch/generative art

These are intended to honor and respect the way each of us perceives the chain. I believe the above approach is probably unprecedented as far as I have researched.

Will cryptoart be propagated and accepted across the chain? How will it continue to live on? This is the question I want to ask myself through my work, and it is also my hope that cryptoart will continue to live on.

• First, we will release the edition of "Kyoto Raindrops" on Thursday, 6/27 22:00(JST)/9:00(EST). Please mint the work from the link of the chain you want to mint (each chain has different photos). （Please mint from the link of the chain you would like to mint.)

• The holder of "Kyoto Raindrops" is eligible for the glitch/generative art piece "Dissemination" airdrop.

• The artwork to be dropped corresponds to the chain. For example, wallets minted with "Kyoto Raindrops" on the ETH chain will receive the "Dissemination" airdrop on the ETH chain.

• Starting Monday, July 1, "Dissemination" will be airdropped to the wallets of minted holders of each chain.

  • Random seed values will be generated using transaction IDs minted with Kyoto Raindrops.

  • Since this is a manual process, please be patient as there may be a slight lag.

  • We will airdrop by looking at the address, but if we know who the target is, we will contact you as soon as possible. If possible, I would appreciate it if you could mint it to me.

This collection will be exhibited at NFT ART TOKYO 4 on June 28 (Fri.). At that time, we will be giving away mini prints (10 x 15cm) of "Kyoto Raindrops" to minted visitors who come to the exhibition. (Please note that only 10 prints of each work will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis.)

The prints are printed on Awa Washi "Kozo Atsukuchi Shiro", a Japanese paper, and we feel that the atmosphere of Kyoto and the rugged texture of the Washi go well together.

As long as the blockchain continues to develop, I feel that cryptoart still has a lot of city to explore. Thank you for your support, which has made our activities possible. I will continue to devote myself to creating even better works in the future.

Thank you for reading to the end! If you think this NOTE is good, I would appreciate it if you could spread the word by RT or liking it if you like! Please feel free to contact me again with any questions or concerns!

For your reference, I will post a link to my past notes on my NFT activities. Please take a look at them if you are interested.
