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.
I am pleased to inform you about Ordinals' pure photography works, "Tokyo Substances", which will be exhibited at my solo exhibition in Kyoto.
There are many moments in everyday life that activate and amplify the imagination. Ten masterpieces in Tokyo street snaps over a period of about three years were carefully selected. The moments are perpetuated on the bitcoin-on-chain and become the driving force and substance for new creations. All images are inscribed in uncommon sats.
Each work is titled with what I imagined or imagined for the moment I encountered it. Since the works are abstract in expression, they may be seen in different ways by different viewers, but I believe it is good to have a variety of interpretations. I hope you will enjoy it as one way of looking at it.

Oscillation
Ginza, The walls of the building were paved with fine metal lines, and the lines were wavy. This reminded me of the electrical vibrations that can be seen on an oscilloscope, and gave me the illusion that the walls, which were not supposed to be moving, were continuously shaking.
Textile
Harajuku, a staircase colored in red and black was reflected in a space covered with many mirrors. The intricate pattern reminded me of the texture of a fabric weave.
Laser
Daikanyama, a mesh of lights was reflected in the aerial passage. The sharp impressions appeared to be lasers shining in multiple directions.
Lava
Harajuku, there was a wall painted in a complex blue color in a store along the main street. The various colors that seemed to flow down looked like blue flowing lava.
Fantasia
In Shibuya, an old Japanese house, a wooden lattice was seen through distorted glass. Looking at it, the view I was seeing now seemed like an fantasia.
Bolt
Harajuku, while walking at night, I saw orange light leaking from the design of a break in the building. The shape of the light gave me the impression of a powerful bolt of lightning striking at night.
Gouache
Akihabara, colorful buildings were reflected on the surface of the river. Their color patterns and textures reminded me of gouache watercolor paintings.
Incandescence
Harajuku, at night, neon lights were reflected on a metal wall. The pattern of light distorted by the unevenness of the wall surface gave the impression of a powerful incandescence in itself.
Nixie
Shinjuku, the orange neon light was reflected on the shutters. It gave the impression of a Nixie tube glowing warmly.
Abyss
In Ebisu, a red brake light of a car was reflected on the ceiling of a multi-story road. The deep color and light seemed to invite me into an abyss.
All works in this collection are inscribed in Uncommon Sats. The Parent-Child Inscription ensures the relationship between the works.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the first collection of Uncommon Sats / Parent-Child Inscriptions in Pure photography.
I have been creating various types of artwork on Ordinals, such as generative art based on photographs, and through my creative activities, I have come to reaffirm the value of pure photography itself. With this in mind, I wanted to leave my work on Sats, where the value is as high as possible.
The works in this collection are not only 1/1 works in themselves, but also serve as the basis for the creation of generative / glitch art through recursive inscription.
An example of the use of Tokyo Substances work as a seed is the work "RuneScan", a tribute to Runestone.
This one was also featured by Leonidas, who was involved in the launch of Runestone.
This work was inspired by the question, "What is Runestone composed of?” I considered each piece of Tokyo Substances as a "substance" that constitutes Runestone, and attempted to express it through various superimpositions and glitches.
Out of the 10 pieces, 4 pieces are randomly utilized. I would like to continue to use Tokyo Substances as a base for various creations, and to produce generative / glitch art in the future.
This time, as a new attempt, I worked on releasing the collection during the solo exhibition. The reason for this is to show once again that the on-chain data of the works can be used as a base not only for generative/glitch art, but also for prints in the real world.
Thanks to your support, I was able to hold my first solo exhibition "Multifaceted" in Kyoto, as part of KG+, a major event where over 100 photographers will exhibit their work throughout Kyoto.
The venue is MANDARACHA, a place where you can enjoy a variety of wonderful teas from all over Japan. I was introduced to the owner of the venue through a conversation I had with DenDekaDen, a web3 anime IP project, and was honored to have the opportunity to exhibit my work through the web3 connection.
And I am pleased to be able to frame and exhibit my work at Tokyo Substances this time.
Since this exhibition is to be held in a Japanese-style space where Japanese tea is served, I used Japanese paper for the prints. The paper is called "Kozo Atsukuchi Shiro" (Kozo Thick White: 楮 厚口 白), which is made by the traditional method of Awa Washi paper. It has the following characteristics.
Kozo (paper mulberry) is a typical raw material for washi, and its fibers are thick, long, and strong, so the paper is strong and has excellent preservation properties.
The roughness of the paper and the deep coloring give it a unique texture.
I chose washi as the medium for the prints so that the urban moment of Tokyo would be in harmony with the Japanese space, and I believe that I have achieved good coloring and texture.
As described below, this print will be sent to the winning bidder.
This collection's auction will feature a total of 10 works and a Dutch auction on Gamma.
Auction Details Start: 4/16(Tue) 22:00 (JST) / 9:00 (EDT)
Duration: 2 days
Starting Price: 0.1 btc
Resting Price: 0.005 btc
Page link: https://gamma.io/ordinals/collections/tokyo-substances
You may place an initial bid starting at 0.005 btc of the final price. The bid will be automatically awarded when the highest bid price is reached by Dutch Auction.
Winning bidders will be sent a print of the exhibit after the exhibit is closed.
Conclusion It has been almost three years since I started working with web3. I would like to thank you all for your support that has made it possible for me to hold a solo exhibition! I will continue to devote myself to this project, so please continue to support me.
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! 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.
